Get ready for racist politics. As November gets closer the push to separate people for political gain always settles on race and economic status. If being rich is so evil, why do you and everybody you know what to be richer? And, why is race always an issue? Aren’t we all Americans?
When it comes to race in politics, I suggest that the truth lies in finding out who benefits by pitting one group against another. As the rhetoric gets hot and heavy this year, take the time to step back and see who benefits, financially or otherwise, is pushing separation.
You know, which ever politician wins, the rest of us lose.
One might think that this opinion is just another rambling from a grumpy old white man. You would be wrong.
A few years ago, I was in a discussion with two minority women - my friends. Finally one said, "Well you are just a racist." The second woman spoke before I could and said, "He is not a racist. He hates everybody equally."
I rest my case.
