(via Sister Toldjah) Check this out:

I admit it: I’m voting for John McCain because he’s a white male. Yes, I’m voting for him because he’s qualified, intelligent, and competent — and because unlike Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, he supported the Iraq war from the beginning. But if he weren’t a white male, and Hillary/Obama had supported the war, I’d probably vote for them because of their convictions. In any case, it’s a moot point, because if John McCain weren’t a white male, he would not be the Republican front-runner.

I believe that most of John McCain’s supporters are voting for him for the same reason. Like me, they’re drawn to his patriotism, his experience, and his politics. But it’s his whiteness that seals the deal.

Aren’t you outraged? Doesn’t this disgust you? How can someone boil down such a complicated election, full of many important issues, to something as irrelevant as race?

Oh wait, they were really talking about supporting the savior Barack Obama?

I admit it: I’m voting for Barack Obama because he’s black. Yes, I’m voting for him because he’s qualified, intelligent, charismatic and competent — and because unlike Hillary Clinton, he opposed the Iraq war from the beginning. But if he weren’t black, and Hillary had opposed the war, I’d probably vote for her because of her greater experience. In any case, it’s a moot point, because if Obama weren’t black, he would not be the Democratic front-runner.

I believe that most of Obama’s supporters are voting for him for the same reason. Like me, they’re drawn to his idealism, his youthful energy, his progressive politics. But it’s his blackness that seals the deal.

I guess everything is okay then. Nevermind.

Can you say Eugh?
