I have figured part of it out.


The idea of Obama winning the presidency just gives me the freakin
willies. I really, really thought Hillary would win!

I have always known I am not prejudiced against him because he is of
mixed race. I know that he is not Muslim. He's a very accomplished
person. He's not a dummy by any means.

My family all came over yesterday. My brother and his wife are so
pro-Obama it is insane, just like I was pro-Clinton. We've really not
discussed it much because it's like gasoline and a match, and because
I'm not a political person. I can never really defend my feelings
because I don't know enough about it.

I know I am a Democrat. I am scared to death to have another Repub
administration in there. But I just went nuts when Clinton conceded. OMG
it was awful, I was so sad!

So I sat here and thought about it a lot. I think I am prejudiced
against him because he seems like a foreigner to me! Not because he is
brown, not because his wife is black, but because he doesn't seem like
an American. If his name were John Smith, I might not have such a
problem with it. It's because of his childhood and background.

I am so confused. I also think, for some insane reason, that he will
throw us white folk in the trash - which is just plain goofy. I don't
think the white bread white guys will throw black people in the trash, I
never think about it.

This is the only time in my life I have been so confused about an
election. I feel as if I have no vote!
