Oh dear.
You seem a bit confused.
I'll swim along past these hooks, then.
Let the 'fishing' continue.

I've come along way with my understanding of racism over the last few years. I thought we Americans were getting through our issues at a good pace. Sadly we are not. It’s going to take a long time before, “Can’t we all just get along”, becomes a reality.
Did a great number of people vote for him simply because he is a black man, and potentially our FIRST Black President? Hell ya they did! Am I shocked or surprised by this? No not really. I’m not black, and it made me feel good inside when we finally got some color in the White house. Did I get pissed about these people for voting the way they did? At first I did; Then, I thought about it.
Did a great number of people vote for the white guy because he wasn’t the black guy? You bet your bum they did! Am I shocked or surprised by this? No not really. Some people fear change and anyone different than themselves. Do I get pissed when I think about that truth? I used to, until I thought about it.
I personally CAN NOT WAIT for the first Black Woman President to come along!! Or even, white woman, Latino woman, Latino man, Asian man, Asian woman, gay man, gay black woman, black man, the list goes on and on I suppose….
By then all this dumb snit will be behind us.
Truth is, Stupidity and Ignorance come in all colors.
So no, I don’t blame any of them for being stupid it’s a waste of my emotions.
I just wish I could live in a time when none of this mattered. I want to go back to the future
People are stupid.
Our President isn't a black man by the way. He's bi-racial, and that is the irony of it all!!!

How does this mean we are moving in the right direction? We have black panthers standing outside polling places. The country has not been this divided since the civil war, and you are saying we are moving in the right direction?
Everytime I sense racial tensions are subsiding the black (mostly) and white leaders stir everything up, just to keep us divided.
To move in the right direction we need to get rid of the racist leaders that turn everything into a RACE issue, most people want to just get along. Speaking of separation. TPTB continually seperate us into groups.
Going back to sleep, let me know when a gay black woman is President

If we as a people are divided the we can never grow strong and the powers that be play the race card like a stepchild pitting the parents against each other.

Speaking of separation. TPTB continually seperate us into groups> We are raised thinking our school is better than yours, our town is better than yours, our state is better than yours, our country is better than yours; all with the intent to keep us sererated.If we as a whole are seperate on petty things then we would never be able to join forces and vote these creeps out of office. People don't realize how stupid they sound when they say " Iam Republican and I am right" or I am Democrat and I am right" ....When it comes down to it ......IT DOES NOT MATTER both are bought off by TPTB. Do you really think they care who gets elected? When we elect some one does policy change? The answers = NO. No matter who gets elected the agenda stays the same.
Open your eyes ....HECK I AM A BLACKMAN AND I SEE IT>

Just saying.

First off why are we still stuck on having a black president?
Yea, your still having some minor problems with that.
Dont be ignorant all your life just because...."you're not black or gay" and don't understand. Now go back to sleep and sweet dreams.
