Discrimination is a Virtue

I feel that the media is way too concerned with the excitement of having the first black president or the first female president to take office. It makes me sick to think one would be voting because of the race or gender of the candidates. The public is not discriminating the issues at stake in the upcoming elections this year. The nominees seem to do nothing but tear each other down why do we want people who act like school children on stage to be our president. There is no real coverage on the issues the hopefuls want to see happen in office, all we are previewed to is how they are constantly one upping each other. Voting based on race or gender is wrong, one should not be blinded by what the media says. When it seems as if one of the candidates is being favored by the media or the candidate would like to think so they can lay a guilt trip on the public. Such as Hillary’s claim that Obama is being favored because he is black, when that should not matter in the first place. We in turn are almost sucked in by the race issue when we are at a crucial point when we need to be focusing our attention on discriminating the issues at hand.
