It was sent to her from a union rep that is involved with workers at her company. (Sorry if this has been posted previously)

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*?
* The Keating Five were five United States Senators
(http://en.wikip edia.org/wiki/United_States_Senator)
accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_scandal )
as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savings_and_Loan_crisis ) of the late
1980s and early 1990s.

What if McCain were a charismatic, eloquent speaker?

If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe the election numbers
would be as close as they are?

This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes
positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in
another when there is a color difference.

PS: What if Barack Obama had an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter? What would
people be saying?
