Lately, I've been getting my share of hate spam regarding Obama. Although they skirt the issue of racism, the truth is between-the-lines. If you have one white parent and one of another race, how come that automatically makes you the other race? Even if you are one-eighth African American, Hispanic, Asian or Native American, then you are not white. What does that say about the Caucasian race? Either both your parents are 100% white or you are not one of us. You are one of them. That has always seemed a bit odd to me.
The latest tactic against the half/black, half/white candidate is the attempt to win over the religious right (I'm assuming because I don't know anyone else who'd buy into it) by claiming that Obama is the Anti-Christ. Actually, there have been many people revealed to be the Anti-Christ over the past centuries.
Obama is in good if not amusing company.
Here's a short list of subjects who have been revealed to be The Anti-Christ
Barak Obama /Newest Anti-Christ
Bill Gates/ Geeky Anti-Christ
Prince Charles/ Royal Anti-Christ
Chris Moore/ DJ Anti-Christ
Ronald Reagan/ Alzheimer Anti-Christ
Napoleon /Short Anti-Christ
Hitler/ Dictator Anti-Christ
Bill Clinton /Booty Anti-Christ
W/ Failed English Anti-Christ
All the Catholic Popes /Hail Mary Anti-Christ
Harry Potter/ Fictional wizard Anti-Christ
Russian Ex-Pres Putin /Red Anti-Christ
David Hasselhof/Bay Watch Anti-Christ

Great post sweetie!! Sometimes I wake up feeling like the antichrist...before my morning coffee, that is...lolol.I wish people would READ and educate themselves more.....Happy writing!! You're doing Great, by the way!!highigs
Great post, Dixie Belle!
My daughter is mixed race -- 50% White, 50% Asian (my husband is Japanese), and a talented, beautiful, smart, exciting, dynamic young woman who is committed to helping others and making the world a better place. She's also noted that people don't seem to see her as "white," although she's no more Japanese than she's white, being exactly 50-50.
Such is the same for Obama, and I always wonder about the attempts to deny his whiteness. Like my daughter, he's "50-50," which means he's BOTH, and I think that's a wonderful, hopeful state to be in.
Maybe I'm an antiChrist, too, who knows? But I'm a woman of faith who prays to Jesus and who thanks God every morning for my life and the privilege of living this day, so I certainly hope I'm not an antiChrist. (smile.)
I ask all of us who are believers to ask ourselves: didn't God create all of us?
Thanks for taking the risk of writing this post. And I'm so sorry about the hate mail. Try to disregard it.
