No Such Thing as Reverse Discrimination
Today I was listening to the morning radio show on my way to work. They started discussing some election stuff like everyone now that the primaries are happening. They started talking about Clinton and Obama. Now being a registered republican in Albany New York I can only vote in the Republican Primaries. It really doesn't matter because I am probably going to write in my vote.
Anyway this radio station mentioned the words reverse discrimination. These words, when put together drive me crazy. I am a middle class white male in my thirties, I have not been reverse discriminated against, I have been discriminated against. There is no such thing as reverse discrimination, discrimination is horrible who ever you are.
This was brought up because they were talking about black votes are going to Obama and woman and idiots are voting for Bill's wife.
Election time brings out the idiots of all kinds. I for one would love to see a Black Woman in Office. I have no issues voting for a person that has views closer to me than anyone else. If I stood up and said I am not voting for Obama because he is black, then I am a racist. If a black man stands up and says he is voting for Obama because he is Black he is patted on the back. I was actually talking to a friend of mine and a coworker the other day who are both Black. My friend said he was going to vote for McCain. The Coworker actually got pissed at my friend because he is not voting for the Black person that is running. Am I horrible because I will never vote for McCain, I am a Veteran and so is he. I am not voting for "my kind"
Who is a Black woman suppose to vote for? Does she turn her back on her race or gender?
Vote for those you agree on and leave the skin tone and gender out of it.

Do you hate me now?
You know I have been doing a lot of reading on a lot of different issues lately. So for now I want to show my name as Dru Topia (R-NY). Now the question is, Do you hate me?
Of course there are some issues that I have read where I would have to respond by writing my name like this Dru Topia (D-NY) hmmm Do you hate me now?
There have been a lot of people talking a lot of nonsence. Yes I agree the past three years could have been handled better. But guess what we will survive another year. But do not discriminate against me about the letter between my name and state.
I am Pro-Marijuana, guess what I am also registered as Republican... Hmmm, Pro Marijuana is a Democrat view... So when researching who you are going to vote for pay attention to the issue not the Letter.
If I want to persuade you one way or another and you are Democrat I will find someone with that letter next to their name that has the same feelings as me. Very few things are Republican, Democrat these days, Research the issue and pick a side no matter what your affiliation is.
Respectfully,
Dru Topia (_-NY)
