All I can say is WOW. I can’t believe that this is 2008 and we still have people in this world, or at least of this corner of the world, with opinions as backwards and ignorant as this. I try not to get too emotionally fired up about politics, but this video transcends politics and speaks to the racism and ignorance that still plagues certain parts of our country. I hope that come November 4th we see that the educated and informed people among us make a strong showing at the polls and quash the antiquated, backwards views shown here.
Let’s review for the ignorant among us:
- Obama is not a Muslim (but why should it matter if he is?)
- He’s black. Why does that matter?
- “The blacks will take over” – I don’t even know where to start here…
- Obama is NOT a terrorist, nor does he “associate with terrorists” any more than the right wing Christian group does. Scare tactics at their core.
- Exactly when did Obama say or infer that he was “anti-white”?
This video just saddens me. I thought we as a nation had moved on from this kind of thinking. The title just doesn’t do the video any justice – “Misconception” isn’t a strong enough word.
