It still saddens me though, even though nothing ceases to amaze me. I think what this election has done is wake a lot of "non-minorities" up to the fact that racism is still very much alive and well in this country.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-83891679588611039572008-10-20T17:13:00.000-04:002008-10-20T17:13:00.000-04:00Great post Brooke...It's ironic that wrote this to...Great post Brooke...It's ironic that wrote this today becuase I get an e-mail forwarded to me that was written of a wife of a frat brother of mine asking to pray fro him. He does press work and has been following the McCain/Palin campaign trails and is astonished,anrgry, enraged over the racist things that have been going on at their rallies.Rene The Harlemitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17265156807652411432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-24718608088502718212008-10-20T16:04:00.000-04:002008-10-20T16:04:00.000-04:00So on Point Brooke!!!It’s like arguing with a fool...So on Point Brooke!!!<BR/><BR/>It’s like arguing with a fool. It doesn’t matter to level you show your point ~ they are blind and don’t want to see the simple truth. If Jesus came back down to explain it ~ they tell him to get back on the cross * Totally crazy!!! But as Obama said “Don’t get mad, just go out and vote!!”<BR/><BR/>As always Miss Brooke ~ Thanks for all the thoughts! What a way to start off the week.<BR/><BR/>DreDre Lewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18411061260155363893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-37291068756137480082008-10-20T15:53:00.000-04:002008-10-20T15:53:00.000-04:00I hope some Republicans take an honest look at the...I hope some Republicans take an honest look at themselves the way Colin Powell did and the better part of themselves comes out on Election Day and votes for Barack Obama. They can't even justify among themselves why they're voting for John McCain. It's willful ignorance. Colin Powell was so thoughtful in his response and yet they STILL say it is because of RACE that he's voting for Barack Obama. It's insanity. This man broke it down to the simplest terms why he's voting for Barack - his intelligence, his world view, his steady vision, his respectful campaign, and they still can't see past race. Colin Powell is one of the most respected republicans ever! He served in the Bush administration. No one said boo about that. But now that he's endorsing a man who is best qualified to lead this country who also happens to be black, he's ONLY endorsing him because he's black. And that's insane to me.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-64430256085724025222008-10-20T15:37:00.000-04:002008-10-20T15:37:00.000-04:00Hi Brooke ~ Welcome back from the Weekend ~ I hope...Hi Brooke ~ Welcome back from the Weekend ~ I hope all had an enjoyable one as well!!<BR/><BR/>Yes…Mr. Secretary/General Powell broke it down ~ boy what a way to say it and then qualify the reasoning!! Did everyone hear all of what he said “The World is watching” <BR/>We as country go to great lengths to promote democracy through out the world and as we prepare to vote for the highest office in the land we should keep that in mind! The words, actions and interactions are being watch/read by all countries of the world. What an example to set and then think that the world would greet any leader from the US with respect after such a horrible display of common curiosity. He also spoke on the statement from the Senator from Minnesota ~ I watch her interview ~ it was so crazy what she said. (A new Blog just for her comments) Also, mentioned was McCain’s poor choice of a vice president. At what cost do you go to win. It’s clear that McCain wants to be president ~ to me, he would sell his soul to get there. To see that republican’s would say Obama is converting the country to socialism because he is winning and has a different approach to governing than they…then to add they should be investigated as a threat to the country. If anyone has heard about McCarthyism ~ how he labeled and hunted for communist back in the 60’s(somebody check me on the time frame). I am extremely happy to hear a clear, sound voice of reasoning that is respected on both isles and the world.<BR/><BR/>The class of leadership is from the top down. Obama and the all his campaign has shown the quality that is worthy to achieve the “Office of the President”. He has shown in many ways his class, intelligence, grace, open minded thinking and a pure gentleman during this race(test). McCain can’t even control his campaign and people apart of it nonetheless to take charge of the country as president. I hope that wakes the better good of the republican’s and we’ll see a better run campaign to the finish. (There is always hope!!! LoL) 15 days and counting ~ Let’s all be inform and do something about it!<BR/><BR/>Peace and Love to All<BR/><BR/>DreDre Lewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18411061260155363893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-35057329789889764782008-10-20T15:07:00.000-04:002008-10-20T15:07:00.000-04:00It's crazy what people believe, and very sad. Peop...It's crazy what people believe, and very sad. People who say that bigotry is their right know nothing of compassion, humility, grace or tolerance.
