Black and white in a grey world!!!
By Asiri | November 21, 2008
As my lovely wife points out (see Peta’s muse), the events surrounding the US presidential elections have been nothing short of a saga in itself. Seldom have I seen people globally have such strong and potentially volatile views on a particular event as this. I have a few questions though….
If Obama were white, would he still have won so convincingly. I somehow am not too sure. Let’s face it - many who I spoke with, who were quite determined to see Obama win did so mainly on the basis of him being “black”. Most of them had no idea whatsoever of Obama’s policies or intent in office at all.
What if Obama were white and McCain black?
It seems to me that in a contest between a “black” and a “white”, in todays environment, one stands at a distinct disadvantage purely based on skin tone. Sound familiar….?
How I wish we could be colour-blind some times.
