America In Black and White

Well it has finally reared its ugly head we digress to America in black and white. It seems the historic democratic primary has digressed. We now find ourselves mired in a name calling race based circus. This process started with so much promise and potential to be a defining moment in American political history. But the democrats, in particular the Clinton’s and their surrogates are now playing the race card. CNN, MSNBC, FOX, ABC all the major news networks have run with the story. We now find ourselves mired in an emotional quagmire and the issue be dammed.

I find this whole situation deplorable. Why do we in 2008 find ourselves returning to the tactics of fear and segregation? When our backs are against the wall, play the race card. Play to the fears and the lowest common denominator the color of ones skin. But that is exactly what it is skin it covers all the essentials that all of share. We all have hearts, lungs Kidneys and the other essential items that make us human.

“If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that”

I implore the Clinton’s and their surrogates to abandon the politics of fear and division and take the high ground.
