You're all wrong.

This is a primal fear being manifested. It has nothing to do with Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, Conservatives, whatever, what-have-you.

This has everything to do with a classist and racist brainwashing that has been perpetrated in this country for hundreds of years. There is no way reasonable way to deal with this fear other than to do it case-by-case, however it manifests.

Sadly, this fear will intensify through Election Day, and if Obama wins, may become even worse.

This isn't to say that the man should not be elected. Clearly, he is (to me) the choice that America truly needs. But I'm straying from my point.

The one thing the Civil Rights era failed to see through is on Dr. King's vision where a wo/man be judged by the content of his (her) character. What needs to happen for this to come about is an honest-to-goodness discussion about racial relations in America-- our issues, our problems, our prejudices and our hurdles. Hell, make it a reality show. Until we can have a dialogue, the fear brought on by a person's race will only perpetuate.
