“All Americans should be glad that a black American has been able to make it to the presidency, and hope that President-Elect Barack Obama’s time in office will redound to the country’s long-term benefit. “
I am disgusted that we have to take notice. I long for the day when Barack HUSSIEN Obama will simply be regarded as a racist, socialist, not a BLACK racist, socialist.
I am so tired of the first black this, the first black that, the first woman, the first Latino the first ...
We are culturally retarded, and unless/until we can quit grouping people, we are doomed to be divided.
As for any HOPE with Obama’s presidency? It can only turn out badly. I guarantee it.
He didn’t make it at all. He was handed it on a silver platter by Affirmative Action advocates and a press that felt (not think) that ‘it was time’ irrespective of the qualifications.
Black Americans don’t have WHITE mothers!
I agree completely — just why should all Americans be glad that a black American(?) has been able to make it to the presidency? I thought we were striving for a color-blind society.
I suggest this because I am tired of the parsing by ethnicity and skin color.
Barack Obama, the 44th Male Human to be elected President.
