This photoshop magic of a white Obama and a black McCain is well done and poignant. It is important to address the issue that many people are voting strictly on the race of the candidate. In fact we wrote a song called “Shades of Brown” that addresses this Black and White issue exactly. Here it is—Enjoy! DIFFERENT SHADES OF BROWN–by Cahill & Delene CahillandDelene (dot com)
Well I have never seen a white man And I have never seen a black man Never met a yellow woman Not a purple, red or blue man
Chorus: We are all just different shades of brown Dark and light, not black or white We stand on common ground
Well I have never seen a green man No, no orange, no tangerine man I know at times we’ve all been blue, man But it seems to me we’re all just human! (Chorus)
Maybe on the chessboard–the pieces are black and white Maybe on the keyboard–the keys are black and white Are ya livin’ in your left brain–where black and white are found Well move into your right brain–Where all are shades of brown (Chorus)
Whatever skin tone on the outside Whatever differences we can’t hide Remember every human worldwide The blood runs red here on the inside (Chorus)

Well I have never seen a white man
And I have never seen a black man
Never met a yellow woman
Not a purple, red or blue man
Chorus:
We are all just different shades of brown
Dark and light, not black or white
We stand on common ground
Well I have never seen a green man
No, no orange, no tangerine man
I know at times we’ve all been blue, man
But it seems to me we’re all just human! (Chorus)
Maybe on the chessboard–the pieces are black and white
Maybe on the keyboard–the keys are black and white
Are ya livin’ in your left brain–where black and white are found
Well move into your right brain–Where all are shades of brown
(Chorus)
Whatever skin tone on the outside
Whatever differences we can’t hide
Remember every human worldwide
The blood runs red here on the inside (Chorus)
