While it is amazing that we live in time where a woman, a minority, and a Mormon are running for president. It is equally amazing that neither of those three running will be elected because they are woman, African American and a Mormon. While we as a nation and as a people have come a long way on the road toward equality, majority are not yet ready for change leadership.
John McCain will be elected president solely because he is not a woman, black or non-mainstream Christian. He will be elected president because he is the only white, older male with experience and typical Christan beliefs (baptist) in the race. Regardless, this is still a landmark time in our countries presidential race and we have interesting times ahead of us regarding rights, equality and leadership.
In response I look back nine years at a Michael Moore directed music video “Sleep Now in the Fire” by Rage Against the Machine — not as nostalgia, but as inspiration in our current time. This song is not dated, but more relevant than ever.
