Throw Back Thursday - 2008 Election

Posted:Jun 5, 2008 7:51 pm

Earlier this week, one of the local customers whom I silently call Archie Bunker came into WallyWorld and asked "Who are you working with...........Obama (meaning my black co-worker).

"Oh You must mean our future President," I replied.


American is NOT ready for a Black President. "The Country is going to Hades because of Yankee Liberals like you who vote for spooks like Obama," he rants.

I advised him, "Actually........ my vote went to Hillary but she's not going to win." He walks away muttering about them darn California Liberals. He still insists that California is a Yankee Northern State.

He walked over to my Black co-worker, points at him and says, "I'm watching you Boy."


Later , I talked the Black Co-Worker called Obama by Mr. Bunker. What's with that guy, is he a wizard under the sheets. "Naw, he's not a racist, he's just plain crazy."

The next morning, another co-workers is ranting about Obama winning the Primary. "America is NOT ready for a Black President." In humor, I suggested that perhaps Obama should consider Jeremiah Wright as a running mate.

Dang, was America ready for the end of Jim Crow Laws? America might want consider getting ready for a Black President.


Actually the Local customer, Mr. Bunker is a White Dinosaur and Jeremiah Wright is a Black Dinosaur.

A blog I posted in 2008 when Obama was running for President. It is interesting to observe how events turned out. Hillary didn't win the primary, Obama did, Now Biden is President and his Vice President is a woman of color. I am sure the customer that I called Archie Bunker is doing a real happy dance with the rest of the dinosaurs.

In the show, Archie Bunker was funny because of his stupidity. Dealing with that stupidity in real life was a surprise to me, because I just couldn't believe there were really people like that.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

You do the same thing I began to do years ago, save my blog posts for use sometimes years later.
