TIME GHOST

Much ink has been spilled on the simultaneous (and, anomalously, plausible) candidacy, in the US presidential race, of a white woman and a black man. To me, this seems an opportunity for the question to be finally decided: who is more human-like, white women or black men? This apparently intractable conundrum has mildly irritated white male humans since time immemorial. It's important to answer for a number of reasons, including the need to properly ordinate society through various axes of stratification, but the lack of opportunity to decide the question is an effective way to keep both groups subordinate, expecting eternally a social promotion which will never come. I think it will finally be solved come November. Unless, of course, McCain wins, in which case presumably the moratorium continues.
