ARKANSAS PRIMARY ELECTION:  INDISPUTABLE TRUTH OF RACISM’S TOLL

...Big Surprise!

Yesterday was Arkansas’ Primary Election day, and guess what trick Arkansans had in store for us!  Next to President Obama’s name (We thought he was the only Democratic candidate), was the name of a totally unknown white Democratic candidate—John Wolfe.  Blacks were in total shock!

But...guess what!  This wasn’t our greatest shock—John Wolfe almost beat President Obama in the Arkansas Democratic primary.  The final Democrat vote tally was—Obama, 94,752/Wolfe, 67,395.  Republican Mitt Romney won with 102,908 votes.   Wolfe took 42% of the Democratic vote—which means that Democrats would have won in Arkansas if Wolfe had not launched a SURPRISE ATTACK.  Imagine that!

Racism’s Dispicable Scourge...

I know that racism is alive and well...THRIVING... in Arkansas...and in the USA; but these voting results present a crystal clear, totally indisputable truth about  racism’s outrageously wicked grasp on the minds, hearts and spirits of vast numbers of whites.

Beyond a shadow of doubt, this segment of whites utterly DESPISES black people!  Some wouldn’t vote for a black person if the only other person on the ballot were Satan himself—That’s the essence of who they have in Mitt Romney...and they know it!

·        They know that Romney supports the advancement of  only the wealthy.

·        They know that he has zero compassion for poor people—He says it without apology.  In one appearance, Romney stated, “I don’t care about the poor.  There’s a safety net for the poor.”   (...Yet Romney has proceeded to mount a relentless campaign against the interests and needs of poor people.)

·        They know he supports cutting programs for the poor, aged, jobless....

·        They know that he became wealthy by destroying American jobs and sending jobs overseas.

·        They know that he supports cutting student aid.  In fact, he’s promised to get rid of the Education Department.

·        They know he refuses to make the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.

·        They know he doesn’t even share their religious values;

·        The fact that Romney’s white (in their racist minds) is better than continuing another four years with President Obama, a black man.

Racist white people know exactly who Mitt Romney is; they know what he stands for; they know how he thinks and feels and behaves.  They know this man through and through, because he has absorbed the very same racist values and ideologies that they have.

They also know President Obama.  They know that he understands and empathizes with the poor and underprivileged, that he will be an advocate for their needs and concerns, that he will not cater to the wealthy, that he will not perpetuate a society in which the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.  But, even though racists clearly and unmistakably understand this; they refuse to vote for President Obama, simply  because he’s black.

But...knowing TRUTH and following TRUTH are two different realities.  Those without integrity are not concerned with this blatant contradiction.  How pathetic!
