My Get Out of Racism Card
by Surname T LegacySo while everyone in my state was voting HRC or Huckabee or whoever, I said, why don’t I do what’s best for the country? After I laughed, I concentrated on doing what was best for me. I voted for Obama. Why would a WASP do such a thing? The answer is simple — it is a get out of racism card.
Previously, I could only use the “Hey I can say that because I have a black friend (he’s really a mulatto but that counts, look it up)” when saying something that lacked racial discretion or oppressing people on a racial basis. Now I can say “It’s cool, brother, I voted for Obama” or “How can I be racist? I voted for Obama!” or “I’m practically your [n-word], since I voted for Obama.”
