The amount of thinly veiled racism that this election has uncovered is incredibly sad and completely unsurprising. It's a sad day when presidential elections serve as little more than divisive outlets for the shrill, uneducated or misleading screams of those who would seek to divide and manipulate their country rather than serve it.
We all fall prey to this trap. If we call for the death of a political candidate over their skin color or religious beliefs, how can we even pretend to be capable of bringing peace to the middle east. If this is who we really are as a country, we are on equal footing with those who kill each other over disputes over who qualifies as true prophets of Islam.
