Vote For Barack Or You’re Racist

Ahh, the sweet smell of identity politics. Vote for the black man or you’re a racist, you sheet wearing, negro lynching, affirmative action hating, black hating, white man.

I’d love to vote for a black man, or a black woman, or any kind of person. Hell, I’d vote for someone whose parents were from Mars, providing they could make the citizenship requirements for President. There is only one catch…

I have to like your policies.

I find the whole idea of voting for someone simply because they are black, or a woman, or a minority of some sort; to be, well… ignorant. The idea that simply because someone is not a member of the Caucasian crowd makes them any more, or less, qualified for a job is beyond stupid. It’s racist in the extreme.

I don’t vote for someone because he is simply a white man. I don’t vote for someone who is simply a member of a political party. I don’t vote for someone who doesn’t espouse or at least pretend to espouse policies that I agree with.

I have policy differences with the Oba-messiah, and that is the reason I will not vote for him. It has nothing to do with race. It has nothing to do with where he is from, who his parents are, or what he looks like. It has everything to do with how he thinks, and what he promises.
