Barack Obama is bi-racial. What if.....what if he would have been born with fair skin? Would the african-american community still have embraced him? Would the media still have a love affair with him? Would he still be hailed as the great hope and the second coming?
I try hard not to be prejudiced. I will base my opinion on him on his accomplishments and not his skin color. But I wonder, if he had been born with fair skin, would he have gotten to where he is now?
And while I'm at it, even if he would have lost the election, it would have been history making. We would have had a woman vice president. But she was caucasian and McCain was old, so I guess they just don't fit the image.
Okay, I am done with my political rant now. Here's hoping the next four years go as well as he promised. I'll be saying a lot of prayers.
