White vs. Black

I can't believe that Hilary is no longer in the race. I am not a die hard fan of hers, she just seemed to be the best candidate out of them all. So, I am bummed. I am planning on not voting for a single candidate...I am going to either write in "Mickey Mouse" or leave it blank. Not that it will have that much of a difference, but you never know. Someone else might think me, god-forbid! We could have a movement...the Mickey Mouse club...wait that's been done. How about the Mickey Wikies?

I was looking at my homepage the other day and saw a picture of Michelle Obama on the news section. I realized that Barack Obama has a really good chance of becoming president...ugh! What ran through my mind was whether, now hold on to your seat this could get pretty racist for some of you, is Michelle TOO black for Barack's campaign? So are you asking yourself, am I racist? Nope. Don't really care either way, but when it was between Hilary and Barack, it was black and female. Now that she's gone...it's going to be a black and white issue.

So what I was wondering, is Michelle too black, because Barack is a light black man, which could make him more acceptable to the general public. Even in the Black Community, that is a big deal, "how black are you". The news article was comparing the First Ladies and their ability and it struck me that it might be a undiscussed issue. I know that she is a Harvard grad and that she is accomplished...but that really isn't the issue is it? Just look at the race between Hilary and Barack. Hilary is intelligent, accomplished and has done the whole White House thing, but nooooo that doesn't mean a damn thing. What seems to be more important is whether she can get her vagina to push the button when she has a mood swing. Geez, doesn't anyone know that she is probably menopausal...

If we could judge first ladies on their politics and commitments like their husbands, then all would be fair. But alas, we are but human and when comes to women, we tend to judge more harshly. Because she's a blonde, she must be an airhead, because she's has big boobs, she as dumb as a post, or even because she's a women, she can't do the job. All we know are false, but we are a shallow society. But that will all fall to the wayside if we have a good scandal...oooohhh, a scandal is always delicious. That pretty much trumps all other issues, including but not limited to starvation, flooding, homelessness, abuse, etc...

So for the trivia buffs, here are a list of names of the past First Ladies...do you know their last name? Give you a hint, they are in alphabetical order by their last name.
