Wow.


Personally, I think there have been MANY under-qualified people running for our highest office. One of them is running the country right now

I really hope that this presidential race does not embarrass our country by bringing out hidden racism. I'm going to think positively and believe that it won't.

Dunmac comment???

What was George W's qualifications for president?? He was the governor of Texas. Big deal. Before doing that, he did little or nothing, besides being an acoholic, and drug addict, and trading Sammy Sosa away as part owner of the Texas Rangers, he has litterally been a failure at every single thing he has ever done in his life. Obama wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth like GWB was.
I can't wait for the day when Barack Obama is sworn in as president, and the racists in this country that spew the hatred will be proven to be irelevent.

Dunmac comment?

Not implying that everyone who votes against Obama is racist, but that people who say he is where he is only because he is black, are.

Ask the cab drivers who wouldn't pick him up when, as a young man, he visited New York City.

Many things help define race. Sometimes racism makes certain factors more apparent.

No, his momma is white, his dad is Kenyan.

I was just kinda referring back to a discussion we had somewhere on one of the threads about "checking a box" to pick a race or ethnicity and how unfair it is to people who have a mixed heritage.
