I guess the thing that most struck me about last night’s debate was the fact that John McCain refused to make eye contact with Barack Obama. I kept yelling at the TV “look at him, damn it”. It was obviously disrespectful, but, and don’t take this the wrong way, it seemed racist to me.
Let me explain- like when a white racist person won’t speak directly to the black doctor in the e.r. (maybe I saw that on Grey’s Anatomy). It seemed like John McCain refused to acknowledge that a black man could possibly be running against him for the highest elected position in our country, or that this black man could have anything worth saying that would compel McCain to look his way.
Yes- I am probably looking too much into it, but honestly, and not politically, that is how it seemed to me.
