A Racial Race?

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: March 9, 2008

The black and white truth about a black candidate…

B'lack Obama's White House dreams
are fueled by grits and collard greens.
He knows that Aframericans
are hungry for a win.

While race is not the only deal,
for millions it's a happy meal.
A chance to prove that Martin's dream
has finally come true.

We're watching history being made.
And while some racists are afraid,
there is no cause to fear B O
because his skin is black.

My fear is based in what he's done.
He's not experienced for one.
And secondly, his Iraq view
is blurred and shortsighted.

I like Obama as a man.
I'm envious of his great tan.
But he's too liberal for my blood
and left on Right to Life.
