The Ugly Reality Of RACISM

Idealism : Racism has no place in this election. Racism has no place, period.Realism - reality : Sadly racism is "alive and well" (an expression), worldwide. Try being a Korean in Japan, A Philipino in Saudi, etc, etc ,etc.I point out that I am white ( I hate descripters like these), 60. educated, intelligent (mensa), experienced (35 years as an Oilfield Consulting engineer with 35 years international experience, working and living with virtually all racial and religious groups on earth). In America 15% of "whites" polled indicate that race is a factor in their voting intentions - a more accurate number is probably higer - 20-25%. But 93% of blacks - 93% - are voting for a black candidate (only 10% admit to bias!!!!). This is not a party affiliation - they voted that way against a candidate with impeccable minority rights credentials in their own party. This vote is RACIST - pure and simple, and statistically not arguable. Where are the black leaders that should be adressing this issue? I meet and discuss (not just talk) with many people - doers, not dreamers: producers, not promisers; intellects and succeeders, not pseudo intellects and non succeeders; and the awareness is there - not discussed much, but there. Along with a bitterness. The issue may apear hidden, but it is there, slowly simmering - smoldering sometimes.If blacks represent 10% of the US population, and they over represnt in this election, removing - statistically - the black vote changes a 50-50 poll (42-42) to 56-44 - a landslide. The racially motivated vote by a single minority could lead to what is tantamount to a "coup". And the imposition of an agenda by the MINORITY, against the majority. That is NOT democracy. I am not American, cannot vote, and would consider myself an Independent. If the numbers were reversed - Dem - Rep, I would be making the same point. Where are the black leaders,that should be speaking out or are they so blinded by bias as well? This is an issue that must be confronted openly, through discussion - heated undoubtedly - nasty probably. But far better than violently. Can you imagine if 93% of whites, or Hispanics, or women were to vote for a white candidate, or women, or hispanic - the shrill cries of racism that would eminate from the throats of Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton would probably contaven noise pollution laws - and JUSTIFYABLY SO!!!! So why the temerity now. If the backlash is a 90% vote against any future black candidate for any office, what will be the black representation in government or committes then?(do youreally think that is out of the question) This is an issue. An important issue. It can and will divide the country with far reaching effects. IT SHOULD BE DEALT WITH. IN the OPEN
