The Fact that you are not even from the United States means that your opinion is useless. Leave US politics to people who live here. Canada has been carried by the US for too long anyways. Go talk about some mounties or something.

First of all the War Between the States was not about slavery, but about a state's right to secede from the Union.

Congratulations on the US for setting this historical precedent for themselves (although most of the planet is wondering what the big deal is -i.e. it's about time - same reaction if it had been a woman).
Now, without meaning to insult the entire US portion of the membership, I'll just say that the perception of many people outside the US (including myself) is that the United States is an extremely racist and violent (gun loving) place in some areas.
We were in for a History making moment no matter who won the democratic nomination this time around but in my humble opinion we are about to see the United States tested in a way it has not been tested since MLK's assasination.
I have personally noticed an uptick in what I would call "black haters" or racists coming to post on ATS.
I fear what could become of ATS if this gets out of control.
So I ask the membership (I'm speaking for myself here not the staff), do I have reason to worry?
Am I wrong in thinking that... "the black haters are coming"... "the black haters are coming"... ?
Will my beloved ATS be a victim in this US election cycle?

So...
One of the presidential candidates in the upcoming US presidential elections is "black" (despite the fact he's half white).

I get it now! If you don't vote for Obama you are a racist.
No need pretending you don't like his socialist policies, no need pretending that you don't like his inexperience, no need pretending you don't like his acquaintences, (Wright, Farakhan, Rezko, Ayers, his wife, etc.) All these are excuses for you racism.
The Democrat Primaries was an exercise in what we as a nation wanted to be less of....racist or sexist. We all know now that we would rather be seen as sexist rather than racist.

Well I think it's pretty easy to distinguish between someone who has legitimate issues with his policies and senatorial voting record and those who have other issues.
