Does Race Really Matter In This Election? Speak Out, Let Your Voice Be Heard

I read somewhere that “Race Matters because racism and racial discrimination matters.” But lately, one of the most important question I’ve been asking myself and all my friends is Does Race Really Matter On This Election?

The US election is only two days away and as we already know, Senator Barack Obama is leading the polls right now, I believe by 5 points. But there are a lot of issues around this election that will be held in November 4th and unless you are stupid or just playing ignorant you should know that Racism is one of the most critical issue around it.

It’s more than obvious, if you open the TV, read a news paper or go to a friend house, you will hear, read and discuss it day after day. Some people will not vote on this election for a candidate not because they believe he doesn’t have the right knowledge to lead The United States Of America but just because they don’t like the color of his skin.

But my questions to any person who is reading this post right now is, Why? Why Do Race Really Matter In This Election? Does it really matter, if a person is black or white or even chinese? Is the color of a person skin is going to help you determine how you are going to end up voting in this election? Does the color of the skin will help this person lead the United States Of America to a much better situation than the country is right now?

Black, White, Chinese and any other races on the world manage to get along when we have to win a football game, or when we have to get an essay done for our history class or when we have to show a new project to the boss within two days in order for us to keep our jobs. So if we can do that, why is it so hard to get along, why is it so hard to get together when we have to make one of the biggest decision on this November 4, 2008. A decision that the world will always remember.

I’m not an American, I live in Canada and believe it or not I do care about this election that will be taking place in the US in just two days and I can guarantee you that I’m not the only one watching CNN every day, every night. I do that and I also believe you do that not because we want to but just because we do care and just so we can keep track with all the news, all the buzz around the candidates. All eyes will be on America for this election, but please and please again, someone, anyone, tell me, why is race will have a such a big impact in this election?

Let say, Senator Obama and Senator McCain are standing next to each other right now and I bleed them just a little bit….. Am I going to find different blood color from them or am I just going to see the same red blood from both their veines? The same red blood that I believe we all have inside of our veines and it doesn’t matter if we are black, white, chinese and etc….

If you already voted earlier, I can only hope you did not vote for a candidate just because you didn’t like his skin or age. But if you haven’t voted yet, please hear me out for a second.

I believe no one should go and vote against a candidate because he is black or white or because he is too old or too young, or because you don’t like that candidate wife or just because you don’t like his religion.

I believe you should go ahead and not vote for a candidate, if you know, think, or believe that this candidate will not help you or help America gets on the right track in the near future.

This is Senator Barack Obama Website: http://www.barackobama.com and this is Senator John McCain Website : http://www.johnmccain.com/, go pay a visit to each one of them right now. Take some few hours and go over their policies and their plans for your country and then make sure you find out if what they are offering you is really going to give you a better future and then make up your mind.

You can do that…. you spend hours and hours watching Sunday Football or Monday Night Football, so 2 or 3 hours reading something that is going to change your life for ever or for the next 4 years cannot be that difficult to accomplish.

If you are a black woman/man don’t vote for Barack Obama because he is black, go out there and vote for him because you believe that his policies can help you and can really help your country in the near future.

If you are a white man/woman don’t vote for John McCain because he is white, go out there and vote for him because you believe that his policies can help you and can really help your country in the near future.

This election will always be remembered… All eyes are focus on The United States Of America. Make the world pride, vote for what you believe is right, vote for the candidate who is going to provide you and your family a better future, the color of the skin or the age should not be a factor in how you end up voting during this election.

It doesn’t matter if you are a Democrat, a Republican or an Independent. Go Out There And Vote.But Make Sure You Vote The Right Way.

Race. Are We So Different After All?
