And I don't remember any posters of previous presidents photoshopped into African garb with bones through their noses.
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.
