Dear Van, I am currently working on my PhD on Social Injustice that our Aboriginal population is facing. Last night I heard your pain as you expressed your thoughts on whitewash. I could not agree more with you. This race was about RACE - This was all the "-isms" (racism, sexism,...) wrapped into one huge ball eight years in the making, glued together in hate and distrust of the "other" and hurled at President Obama .. As someone who was born in a communist country, I know just how important a vote is. BUT it must be an educated & informed vote. This was not that ...half the population paid no attention to the issues or the day to day events of the past year ..For those shocked by the election results, wondering how it happened - I say - this is how all those rust belt, non-college educated white folks left 8 or 9 years ago. For so many of us this was so obvious - sadly some people could not fathom that a black man was in the White House. The only thing worse would be if he was followed by a woman, especially one that would carry on his legacy. Ironically, those folks that voted against Her, are the very ones in need of Her and Obama's policies! all we can say is- Forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
