How Racism Works Against Obama

I received this in an email from my friend Leza:

How Racism Works

--------------------
What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review?

What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?
--------------------

What if McCain were still married to the first woman he said "I do" to?

What if Obama were the candidate who left his first wife after she no longer
measured up to his standards?
--------------------

What if Michelle Obama were a wife who not only became addicted to pain
killers, but acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?

What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?
--------------------

What if Obama were a member of the Keating-5?

What if McCain were a charismatic, eloquent speaker?
====================

If these questions reflected reality, do you think the polls would be as
close as they are?

What is it that rationalizes and minimizes a black candidate's positive
qualities and qualifications?

You're The Boss ... which team would you hire with America facing historic
debt, two wars (to date), stumbling health care, a weak dollar, all-time
high prison population, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc?
