The upcoming election is an interesting one. As much as we hate to admit it, there still is a lot of sexism and racism in this country. Violence perpetrated against women has been a recent topic in many of my myspace friend's blogs, and reality becomes a cool slap across the face when we find out the staggering numbers and the frequency in which these crimes take place.
I went on about my business thinking about these things when a mischievous fleeting though perused my mind… How will extremist, Neo-Nazi, KKK, hate groups feel about having a black president?
I must admit that I did chuckled a bit when I imagined the leaders of these groups sitting in their swastika-crammed T.V. rooms wearing their white robes and pointy hats watching CNN as the anchor announces that Barack Obama won the election.
***Chuckles*** (again)
I have absolutely no idea if these individuals are politically inclined or not. They do clearly exhibit opinionated personalities. I wonder if they will voice out their opinion on the matter. And if they do, I wonder if anyone other than their peers will care. In any case, they will have no choice but to accept the triumph of the Democratic Candidate, and yell a few obscenities about the matter in their next cross-burning ceremony.
***sigh***
