The Race

The other day I was reading the latest issue of the TIME magazine, in which there was an article showcasing "the Clintons" effort to win over the Iowa state in their presidential campaign; and coincidentally a close friend from the States called and we embarked on our much heated political debate. He's a Republican, while I'm a Liberal but frankly speaking I dont give a hoot about American politics. Thus we ended the conversation with him having the last word:
"America is not ready for a Woman and neither a N***er!"

Surprisingly I had the same view not so long ago, but given the desperation felt in America for a change, after 8 f***in long years under an incompetent leadership, that I started toying with the idea that the 44th American president would be a lady or even a dark skinned fellow.

Perhaps another time! Maybe we'll have both someday... Hmmm Madam Condoleezza Rice???
