Al Sharpton has been in the headlines talking about a push to have Obama put on Mt. Rushmore. As a geologist, I said to myself "wait a minute, if Obama, who is black, was put on Mt. Rushmore, the granite color of the rock would make him to appear white". If you think about it........it would be true. I personally think that people would have a problem about this, especially his most ardent supporters.

Jokes aside, if any 5th president belongs up there it's Obama for all the crap he has taken from the racist idiots in this country and for what the black people have endured as a whole. He belongs up there.

We lay awake at night, worrying about such things.
Quote:
George Washington signifies the struggle for independence and the birth of the Republic,
Thomas Jefferson the idea of representative government,
Abraham Lincoln the permanent union of the States and equality for all citizens, and
Theodore Roosevelt the 20th-century role of the United States in world affairs.
What do you think would Obama signify as a reason to have his face put on Mt. Rushmore?
All men are created equal, regardless of skin color or anything else?
A black man got elected to be POTUS by a majority of American voters. Get over it already.
I know that there are many people, apparently including the OP, who are obsessed with the color of the President's skin.
For them, and particularly the OP, I have a question: what are the odds that the skin color of the four presidents already there was the same as the color of the rock? As a geologist you should be able to answer that question.

This man does NOT represent what the black people have endured. He's been silver spooned and represents just that, a brat way out of touch with reality.
Sharpton is a friggin idiot whose only aim is to ruffle feathers. Which, admittedly is par the course for the entire race lobby these days.
