White homeowners afraid of a black family moving into their neighborhoods often encourage the would-be seller to pull the home off the market. “I’m not racist,” they explain, “but other people are. And all of our home prices will suffer.”
These homeowners are perpetuating bigotry, and so are voters who won’t cast their ballots for a woman or African-American because of “electability.”
Stop wondering whether America is “ready” for a non-white or non-male person to be President. Wonder if YOU are ready. Then cast your vote for the best candidate.
