You're right as far as Mormans for Mitt and Catholics for Santorum go. And I know that every Catholic voted for JFK way back when...and that's all fine and dandy.

But I'm talking about skin color here...and I'm not the one who made it an issue...Mr. Obama did when he made a special appeal to African Americans for Obama.

I don't think you would ever see a "Caucasian for Romney" special appeal or a "Caucasian for Santorum" special appeal.

They would be branded "racists" of the worst kind...and you know that they would.

So why is it OK for Obama to do it? It only further divides this nation...into an us and them and black and white mentality.

It was bad back in the sixties and seventies and it's just as bad in the
W's, but no one will admit it.

Part of my story was that I worked as a teller in a bank in downtown
New Brunswick, NJ. We catered to large businesses, attorneys, etc.
We also catered to the homeless, the indigent and the addicts. Those who would get their monthly Social Security checks, come and withdraw it on the day it was deposited and then not be able to understand why there was
no money left a couple of weeks later.

I was called "white cracker"..."honky"..."white trash"...etc. when I had to tell them they would have to wait again. Those that came in with unemployment checks called them "fun employment checks". When unemployment was extended back in 2009 they called them their Obama checks. Their man was going to pay for their houses and their rent and all their bills...he was going to take care of them. This is the mentality that I had to deal with and what they truly believed.

As Buck said in a previous post (and I'm sorry to keep bringing you into this, Buck):



I truly believe that if we all look into our hearts, we know that Mr. Obama was elected BECAUSE of the color of his skin and not just because of his policies.

And I truly believe that if this is allowed to continue, that Ebony and Ivory will never live together in perfect harmony.

Appeal to ALL AMERICANS and not just AFRICAN-AMERICANS. I just ask that you don't differentiate between the two.
