Naturally the repubs, being so deeply steeped in their racist beliefs, don't think it's racist...it's the "can't see the forest for the trees" thing.
You keep your strawmen and stereotypes, its all you have in order to keep your unreasoned anger and hared at a fevered pitch all year long.

Who said America was right in its depiction of race? That's why I said it is what it is. Obama is indicative of the vast majority of Black Americans. Damn near all of us are of mixed heritage. Them slave masters were always sneaking to the outhouse.

which would support my theory that there was nothing "historic" about this election. there is pretty good proof that warren harding was the first black president.
