Over the weekend, I posted reasons why McPalin were indeed not "just like us." I wanted to share what the people who are like me are feeling and experiencing. Our situations have no color. However, earlier today I read a diary about the underlying racism that permeates white America. This underlying racism allows white people not to "trust" Senator Obama without logical reasons.
The author pointed out that no matter what Obama/Biden or Democrats say, white people can’t get over their own racism to vote for a black person. Not that this facet hasn’t been there all along, but being what I thought was a rational person, who could both recognize and overcome my own shortcomings, I felt that my self-interest and my belief in the American people and American dream would triumph.
