Local newspaper’s front-page headline on Friday: Westmoreland calls Obama ‘uppity’. How dare Representative Lynn Westmoreland use such racially insensitive language! Everyone knows that we are to walk on eggshells as not to offend Mr. Obama, who is, oh goodness should I say it, black. Actually half-black. I really don’t understand why race must be included in any discussion about qualifications. Surely the entire country is familiar with his hardships growing up with only his typically white mother and grandmother after his father skipped out on his responsibilities.

We are all stupid

The article goes on to say that Westmoreland was not aware of the racial connotation of the word. Well don’t feel bad about your apparent ignorance Mr. Westmoreland. I have questioned several people, both black and white, and I have not found a soul who knows of the word’s racial connotation.  I can give my basic definition of the word: arrogant, elitist, superior. Now let’s check Webster’s definition: “Putting on or marked by airs of superiority; arrogant, presumptuous.” Well! Even Mr. Webster was blinded by racism! I guess he wanted to hide the dirty meaning so that he could giggle on the inside when someone misused the word. I can just hear him now, “These fools don’t even know what they are saying! I am a evil genius!”

Quit whining

We all know that if McCain wins the election it will be because of racism (whites wouldn’t vote for Obama because he’s black).  If Barack Osama, excuse me, I meant Obama, wins it will be because of racism (blacks only voted for Obama because he’s black). Anything said between now and November 4th will be picked apart and twisted around until some tiny drop of imagined racism can be plastered across every headline in the country. I think that race should be removed from every job application in the country. This would ensure that people would hold positions because of qualifications alone, not quotas. Racism in all directions is wrong. Based on hearing the candidates speak I have made the following appointments: John McCain to  Washington D.C. He is a proven soldier and while I don’t agree with all of his views, he will be a good president. Barack Obama to the Washington Redskins. He is a good speaker and motivator. I believe he will make an excellent head cheerleader.
