it shouldn't be, but you have to be insane to believe its not relevant in 2012
I think you meant it "should" be, but at any rate I realize there is racism in 2012. Unfortunately there will always be racism. That's reality. You can't force people to change there thoughts or their beliefs. Forcing them to do so just breeds more dissention. It sucks, because we as the human race, can learn much from each other. Understand, tolerate, live and let live. Provided nobody gets hurt in the process. In other words, don't step on my toes, and I won't step on yours.
America as a whole was and is still ready. Unfortunately there is still alot of racism in this country and that racism was bought to the surface when Obama was elected.
I honestly, looking back and at the present, don't feel that many in this country were ready. I feel the majority are and were but that there are some who just will never be ready.
We are more than ready for a Black president ... it's just that Obama was not the right person. We would have been much better off with Colin Powell or Condoleeza Rice as the first Black president.
The saddest part is that because of Obama it will be a very, very long time before we see another Black person sitting behind that desk in the Oval Office.
So why is it that all black men will be punished for a long time and white men wont because of that awful most awful embarrassment bush? The right/tea party was not ready and never will be ready for a black POTUS. Fortunately the good white people of this country did not wait on them
There is nothing to fear about a black President. There's plenty to fear from THIS (half) black President. We warned you in 2008 of the ramifications of putting Barack Obama in office. Neither side of the political aisle is happy with him. Those who still slobber over him have been deemed worthless sheep and are no longer a force to be reckoned with. America has awakened from its warm-n-fuzzy-we-elected-a-black-president-slumber.
You reap what you sow. Thank God it will only have lasted 4 years.
I so agree with you, i feel that so many people in 2008 those who put their faith in this new elected Preisdent, and those who did not. Were still going to embrace him.
And those that did not vote for him like myself, were still giving him his due chance, like he told us he would do. I believed him, when he said he was going to be the different President, that would unite and never divide? I believed him when he said unemployment would be below 8% under his leadership, and that we would see the economy grow, His words not mine!
He would embrace the opposite side, and become the most bi-partisian President, running everything thru his opponets! Really?
Black is just a color and has no meaning to this, stop making this about his color.
America was ready, and Americans embraced him i beleive more then any other President. He is given such special treatment still to this day from the media. The President seems to not be able to do no wrong, without the media coming to his rescue!
He had his chance, and in my opinion only, and some of my very good friends and family, who voted and did not vote for him. No one seems to think this Country is truly better off then we were in 2008. Facts say they are not.
We were ready for a black President, but was he honestly sincerely ready for the job!
Is America ready for a black president with a black sounding name. Barack is half black with a white mom. How about a black American from an Urban part of America. Just curious.
I'm glad to see the content of character all of a sudden wont matter if a black man decides to run. The same ones on here saying it will be a long time are the same ones who said it would never happen in the first place. Sadly I believed you. I thought the white male Christian power structure was so strong that you were right. Now I know not to be brainwashed again.
The Americans are vicious. America is a long way from accepting a non-white president. Americans will emphatically deny it, but American society is racist.
Ask any patriot, they will tell you that the only racism in America is reverse racism. And they believe they're fooling everyone.
With a black man with leadership abilities, a good command of the facts, a basic understanding of economics and a love of this country, I think the country would more than be ready for a black president. Allen West comes to mind as a very capable man, able to do the job and earn respect.
So what is the answer? Was america ready for a black president?
Certainly not this half black President. We needed someone who was capable of running the Country. I think Obama has shown that he can't do the job.
