So, it appears there is a resolution on who will run as Democratic candidate in the 2008 US elections. Obama wins the race, Hillary a close second.
But did Obama win the race, would Hillary have won the race? Or did a 'Black Man' beat a 'White Woman'? You see for me it doesn't matter which one won, this whole election has been about the first woman versus first black. It appears to have polarised a nation, or at least the pretend liberals.
Whichever camp is chosen, policy will never really change so that isn't really the point here. It never is. It's usually about the personality, the charisma of the actor on stage. This time round, well it's another case of two liars begging and selling their soul for the Presidency, no one in politics can ever been honest.
The problem I have is that this election has highlighted not how far we have come as people, but how far we have to go. When it's about Black versus Woman and not policy versus policy it shows some things. People would rather vote for an ideal than a reality.
Who should have won? If I had my way... none of them, not a single politician. I'd like a few business people, an accountant and some intellectuals running the place, not cardboard cut out blacks, whites, woman or hispanics.
i don't live in the USA, I live in South Africa, and I see this kind of ideology around me every day, both in South Africa and the broader Africa.
Politics is for the actors, but we all have to deal with a crap script.
