Side 1: Obama, is taller than both McCain and Clinton, but they are virtually tied in height in this picture. How is that racist? Here's how: Some whites have this fear of being dominated by blacks, so when they have the power to do so, as in photo editing, they cut us down to size.
Side 2: Clinton and McCain are perfectly coiffed, but Obama's head is unevenly squared. How's that racist? Here's how: Some whites can't stand to have blacks look better than them, so they are not as careful with the air-brush.
Side 3: The distance between Clinton and McCain is less than the distance between Clinton and Obama; as if Obama has the plague. How's that racist? Here's how: The Clinton -McCain distance says "we're friends, we're white; Obama is not. He's an outsider; he's not one of us."
Jack Kennedy said "Law alone will not make men see right."
No civil rights law will make the editor show the truth, that Obama is taller than Clinton and McCain.
No executive order will hold the editors hand steady so that he/she perfects Obama's picture the same as Clinton's and McCain's.
No presidential edict will make white America include blacks into their hearts.
These pics favor McCain and Clinton, especially Clinton. So don't tell me the media is unfair to Clinton, or that women have a bigger barrier to climb than blacks.
It's simply not true, and I wish Steinem, Clinton, McGovern and NOW would stop lying about it.
