Racial Anxiety

One of the perks of working in an Obama office is that now I am inside the bubble.

What do white people who come into the office want? Yard signs.

What do black people who come into the office want? To register to vote.

What do people who work in the office want to do? Register voters.

So now there's this weird inverse-racism thing going on in my head, after only working here one day I'm starting to cringe every time a white person walks in. Because I don't have any yard signs.
