racism; but rather, can only further stir up and provoke any prejudices or racism, lying dormant beneath the surface of our hearts.  If anything, the bigot... upon not witnessing the candidate of his/her own, preferred ethnicity, skin color or gender, elected or chosen for public office... will begin manifesting their bigotry, which they have been attempting to hide within.  Their "messiah" is not being allowed, by the general consensus, to "deliver" them; and this makes them angry, full of wrath.  We still want Saul to reign over us, don't we, rather than King David; and, just like in The Book of Judges, we continue to cry out for our own "ethnic savior" to emancipate us from our enemies, rather than pursuing a deeper heart-fellowship with our own Heavenly Father... first, for ourselves.  Why is it... how is it... that after so long a time, we are yet looking for the "right-colored" man or woman to reign over us; all the while we continue to name ourselves by the name of Christ, referring to ourselves as a "christian nation"?  What?  Where?  In a country where women are still payed 50%-70% the value of a man... 50%-70% of what a man is worth... for being capable of doing the same job?  We are delusional.
