because he’s black?

I have copied and pasted an email i received recently via a bulk email. I was wondering how everyone of every nationality felt about this email. I personally believe that this email is one track minded, self centered and racist and untrue to a certain extent.

Please let me know honestly what you think.

A GOOD READ AND PERSPECTIVE

Because he’s black…..

This older white guy asked his older black friend, ‘Are you voting for

Barack Obama just because he’s black’?

So the older black guy fires back and says, ‘Are you not voting for

him just because he’s black? Why can’t I vote for him just cause

he’s black?

Hell in this country men are pulled over everyday just cause they’re

Black, passed over for promotions just cause they’re black, considered

to be criminals just cause they’re black, but you don’t seem to have

a problem with that.

This country was built with the sweat and whip off the slaves back,

and now a descendent of those same slaves has a chance to lead the

same country where we weren’t even considered to be people.

Where we weren’t allowed to be educated, drink from the same water

fountains, eat in the same restaurants, or even vote, so you’re damn

right I’m going to vote for him!

Not just because he’s black….

But because he is hope, he is change, and he now allows me to

understand when my grandson says he wants to be president when he

grows up, it is not a fairy tale but a short term goal.

Because he sees, understand, and knows, he can achieve, withstand, and

do anything just because he’s black!
