Spare me the "racial" politics


Give it a rest already
One thing that is really growing tiresome is this "vote for Obama or you are racist." I know that's being aimed at folks in the American South, but that is where my family is from.

First, there is only one race, HUMAN. By any biological definition, that's pretty much it.

Using the logic that's being tossed around, there is no difference between Jimmy Carter and David Duke.

I beg to differ.

I wouldn't vote for either, but I would go to a BBQ picnic with Jimmy.

As a red-blooded American Pagan, I can say with some authority that while there are (lovely and amazing) INDIVIDUAL differences among human females, skin color makes no difference in a lady's intelligence, personality, passion, or politics.

Or how nice she tastes, for that matter.

You might as well say that all blacks should have supported Clarence Thomas because he's "black." We know that's not what happened. Skin color falls down when it comes to ideology. Going by the liberal talking points, some aren't "really black."

I'm not saying that there aren't tensions. There are.

I am saying that there are many more important reasons than skin color. That's why I'd share a meal with Mr. Carter and would shun Mr. Duke. It has to do with that thing that Dr. King called "the content of their character." Pretending that ONLY skin color makes a difference is insulting.
