It's an easy fix. Just no one wants to do it because they think that doing so will mean they have forgotten their past. Later, QD.
wonder if you'll respond to this post.

Theres a difference between "forgetting it" and moving beyond it. And moving beyond it has as much to do with White people learning to deal with what they see as "oh noes... reverse racism!!1" as it does Black people and their history with racism.
The issue has as much do do with Rush Limbaugh and his ilk as it does Al Sharpton. When both of these idiots fail to draw attention, then we're getting somewhere. White people need to stop perpetuating the myth that we live in a "post racism society" and have an open dialogue about race, rather than the current strategy of smiply denying the issues exist.
Wow, you finally said something I don't disagree with. Good point
I was being sarcastic. A lot of black folks don't want to just "shut up" about racism and just let it go. They say they don't want to forget about their past. I say it's not their past, but their ancestor's past and that just because you don't talk about it and work towards a better future, doesn't mean you forget the past.
And Justin, I called it didn't I? Later, QD.

I don't think we have reached the point just yet where we can "just let it go". Theres a certain percentage of the country that cannot handle having a capable, competent Black man in a leadership role. I'm not saying that racism is the only source or reason behind the opposition to Obama, but I do know that many of his most vocal critics I have spoken to on the Right didn't protest this much when the Clinton's were talking healthcare. And I don't remember any posters of previous presidents photoshopped into African garb with bones through their noses.
Well there goes my one agreement with you. I knew it wouldn't last too long.
I need to know what "capable, competent, black man" you are talking about before I will comment.
I would also like to see your source for the "certain percentage".
Clintons healthcare bill never got as far as this one, and honestly, there are a hell of a lot more people talking politics now than ever.
It man also have something to do with quadrupling of the deficit with the run away spending. It may be that every speech he gives outside of the US he degrades this country, just look at his speech to the UN.
Plenty of presidents have been photoshopped. Why would they not use an african theme for them? He does use the PC description of himself as a AFRICAN-American, whatever the hell that BS means.
thank god u said that. cuz if all blacks r african Americans, then all white people are european americans. its stupid. i was born here in the us. I am black and american. the end.
Well since you asked for a source....

I'm sure there are more... I'm not sure exactly how many tea party participants are racists as "are you a racist" is something thats difficult to poll. On my very short trip to Stormfront to get that quote for you, however, I did see that they have a sub-forum specifically for Tea Party discussion. I'm not saying... I'm just saying.
As far as the African American designation... it refers to W.E.B. DuBois' writing on double consciousness that I have posted and no one comprehended.
If you want to call yourself a caucasian, European American, a White Nationalist, or whatever else... thats up to you.
If you want to tell people to "get over it" and to "let racism die" and any other potentially condescending mantra your heart desires, I have posted some hyper-links above where you could start.
My comment had nothing to do with Obama, more so than addressing why people won't let racism die.
Although I do think that racism has been brought out more to the forefront because of the election of the man. Black folks are quick to label anything negative a white man says about Obama as racist.
It's hard to talk about because it just doesn't make sense to me. I stress and stress equality and pro-mankind to my oldest children especially because they are of mixed races. I have them embrace their black and Japanese heritages as well as their white one. I help learn them of the past of the people they derive from. As far as I can tell, they've learned very well.
