> I hope to Heaven we never, ever, ever elect a black president again.
Oh that’s mighty white of you. I guess you wouldn’t want Allen West as president? What in God’s name is wrong with you? You think the problem with 0bama is that he’s black?
no, I would not want Allen West as president. It’s not what’s wrong with me, it’s not what’s wrong with Allen West being an African-American or even Obama being a black man - it’s what’s wrong with the country.
Our country has become so immature a black president is no longer a president, he’s a race. Any criticism of a black president is consistently portrayed as wholesale criticism of a race. Question a policy - that’s racist. Question members of the administration - that’s racist. Question Obamacare - that’s racist. Impeach Obama - that’s racist. For six-year olds, all they’ve heard all their lives is non-blacks are racist.
Following Obama with West won’t help. West isn’t a liberal and he isn’t a Dem, so in the current political environment, as President, he will be as vilified as Bush within those communities. I wouldn’t wish that on him in a million years. Stick him in as VP where he’s at least insulated somewhat. Until certain elements in our country are mature enough to accept a black man -as a man- and not as a race, be it West or someone else, and to accept the white man - as a man - and not as a race, we would do better not to perpetuate the immaturity and resultant hostility generated down to the masses that is building to a crescendo.
