Race, and I still have two posts to go....

Because I waste few here lightly....I am 54....A "Vietnam" era vet who never left Colorado.If you are under 60 and don't get that Barrack has his shit more together than yours...than post yourself as other-if he is merely uppity and light show me how you have achieved more or done better...because if he is all about race, I appearently have missed it...show me a point where his thing is all about being black and I will help bury him...

1. Given that he's black and white... I really don't get it myself.

10. Being that Obama is of mixed race exemplifies the American theme of the "mixing pot"...

where we of all races come together and form one nation and one people. It doesn't get more American than Obama.

2. I hope you are wearing a hazmat suit...

because I am sure you will get hit with a shitstorm of Rev. Wright and Michelle's thesis nonsense;)

Of course, this is from people who do not know the difference between black liberation theology and black seperatist ideology and those who have never bothered to actually read Michelle's thesis (which, because I'm a dork, I did)

7. Ain't no URL...Just truth....

My minimum estimated IQ is 120 plus...So I am both a white boy and you can assume I'm fairly clever.Obama ain't truly black any more than you or I are white.....His Mom is flat out white.I look WAY white,with reddish, hair freckles, and blue eyes,but past that I know there is indian and black blood in the family-I guess I just fail to show it well.
But the point is that neither clever,nor white, nor black is going to fit the old definitions soon.And that is very good.

3. He is a self made man. We are suppose to respect that here in America. He is the genuine article.

4. That's exactly it and he has been attacked for his education,

he has been attacked for the church he attended.

I am sick of it - People need to direct their anger and hatred against McCain and Republicans.

It's time to unite.

9. I completely agree. His critics are to an individual intellectually

disingenuous, corrupt or racist. I have yet to see a criticism that actually has any substance to it except his propensity to stutter a little.
