Would it Be Fair to Say: Racism vs. Sexism

Being the wildly astute political pundit that I am (For christsakes, I even did a little review of it here, replete with shitty photo editing), I'm just gonna have to put on my oversimplification goggles and treat this current electoral cycle as the final showdown in which we answer the age old question: What does America hate more? Blacks or Women?

I guess if that question is rephrased, it's more along the lines of which are we more ready to tolerate in the White House, a white woman or a black man? Sure, roll your eyes at me, oh why oh why is TDX counting out the eventual Republican candidate? Fuck you for even asking that question. I dare you to sit through an entire Republican debate between the dozen or so fatally flawed "candidates" and tell me that you're still gonna vote Republican. If you end up doing so, then I'm just gonna refer you to Kanye's position on George Bush (and, to an equal extent, Kevin Galin), and call you out for not caring about black people.

Assuming Al "Captain Planet" Gore doesn't throw the keys to his Prius into the ring, the Democrat Party's nomination is gonna come down to Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. Possibly the one who loses out becomes a running mate, who knows. Also, try not to read any racism into that picture above. It is not a picture of Obama, the ears aren't big enough. I'm just a big fan of the WWN, Bat Boy to be specific. Hey, he kinda looks like Obama, now that I think of it.


But here we are America. If these are our two candidates, which do we choose? Where is the white male candidate that we've always had. Christopher Dodd's eyebrows don't count. I honestly think that America has to make a tough decision. Which is a worse problem in this country, racism or sexism? To be fair, America's issues with sexism isn't particularly focused on our nation. Truth be told, we're leaps and bounds ahead of the curve, just think how sexy you ladies would look in a burka. Also, we're a lot better than most on the racism/xenophobia too. I seem to remember a certain "Question" that the Germans were seeking a "Solution" to a couple generations back. Nevertheless, it's still there. We as a country are a lot better than we used to be, notwithstanding the occasional blip on the radar in Texas.

It certainly seems that America preaches equality, and women have come far, but the sexism is way out in the open. The racism might be stronger, but its more covert. Frankly, I think even when it comes to casting anonymous votes, White America is afraid to let irrational fears of those with year-round tans prevail in the voting booth. As for myself, I'd love to see a black President, just out of curiousity towards the South's reaction (also including that of white trash throughout the nation). When it comes to sexism, I'm in agreement with men of all skin color. There's no explanation for it, I just really fear the type of woman who could possibly ascend to the Presidency. She worries me, because such an individual must be so cutthroat that she would be truly capable of anything. Well, as long as the job description doesn't require parallel parking.
