I agree with BOTH Vteckidd and PreferredDuck.
One thing that people forget is Obama is half white too, so we must be being racist toward them. Or here is another example, take Kanye at the VMA's, he wasn't being racist, just a "jackass". However, if it was Taylor Swift doing that to a black artist, it would have been racism.
There are a lot of black people that are racist towards white people. Whereas I believe a lot of white people are becoming less racist and realizing the B.S. associated with it.
Like I said before, Obama got the black vote, but he also got the majority of the white vote. Obama is HALF Black AND HALF white. He was raised in Hawaii by his WHITE grandmother. So, he is not from the "streets" like people would like to believe. He is white in almost everyway except the color of his skin.
Get over the race thing, and as far as the race card goes, give it up Tony, it has nothing to do with taking the easier path, it is the race card, it has been being played in this country for years, it is time to let it go.
The younger generation, for the most part, is very tolerant and very understanding of diversity and of others cultures. It appears, that by me being a white male, over the age of 18, that my heiritage and my culture and my views have to be subdued because otherwise we might offend someone.
Well frankly, I'm over it.
Adding one more thing, I voted for McCain, I am voting for John Oxendine for governor, is it because they are white? No, it is because I feel they would do the best job in the position they are trying to be elected into. It seems to me that we are so close to calling anyone who didn't vote for Obama a "racist".
Pastor Manning, (Who is black) said it best when he said "you keep pushing the white folk like you do, they are gonna rise up . . . and I agree with them, I hope they let me join them."

As long as I'm on my soap box, let me just explain one more thing. Clearly, I am a republican. I am proud to be one. Here is one of the biggest differences between Republicans and Democrats.
For 8 years we watched the media and the liberal propaganda, demean and disrespect President Bush. We sat back and took it. I agreed with a lot of what Bush did as president, but I also DISAGREED with some things. Regardless, I wanted him to succeed. I wanted this NOT to make the GOP look good, but so that the U.S.A. would succeed. If the president does well, then the country does well, then we do well.
As far as Obama goes, I do not like him, I do not like what he stands for, but even so, as president, I want him to succeed in fixing the problems and keep America a great country. Even though I didn't vote for him, I wanted him to do well, because then in turn, I will do well. The sad part is, that everyday he shows that he was not a good choice. But regardless, for his term, I didn't want him to fail.
The liberals, want the republicans to fail, the media would report anything Bush said and did, we have networks refusing to air anti-healthcare ads because it might offend the mesiah (which goes to show how yellow journalism really is). The democrats wanted Bush to fail. It's that simple.
OK, I'm done.
