None with any sense considering how the usual suspects have hijacked the thread.

Instead of trying to grey the divisions between white and black, he's made them even more transparent, and has even contributed to the 'victimhood' stance that race baiters like Rev Al and Jesse Jackson so successfully play.

There's lots of white people that would have loved to have seen Condi Rice run for higher office.
Had Condi Rice been elevated to an office of higher power, I don't think that is how everyone would have behaved. They are not racist if the blacks are not in a position of power. If, all of a sudden that black person has power or imagined power over them, then they feel threatened and the racism emerges.

If you saw what I saw written on people's pickup trucks when Obama won in 2008, you might think differently. Lots of really racist gross stuff. Don't kid yourself.

Michelle Obama, Sasha and Melia have pretty much had to be f*cking perfect during the last 8 years, and the 'non-racists' have still found disgusting things to say about them. Not because they were disgusting people--it is because they are black. And if you think that is not true--go back and do a search on this forum alone.

*SIGH*...SMH..

I'm black, I voted for Obama twice and if pitted against McCain or Romney again, I'd vote exactly the same way.

Life for the better? My life was good in 2008, it's damn good now and will remain very good no matter who occupies the White House.

The end.

Obama has increased racial relations in this country considerably.

It has nothing to do with being a black president, it has to do with having his head up his ass and his lack of understanding of the Constitution.

He's increased racial relations? What does that mean?

You guys with this "race relations" nonsense. If there's any topic that's overrated, it's race relations.

Why does everyone act as if we all have to like each other?

Excellent post!

I especially agree with the bolded. Having BO as president brought out the hatred in a lot of people. These are probably some of the same people who cry about "race relations."
