Post Racial

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

Martin Luther King "I Have A Dream"

The term "post-racial" has been bandied about by pundits. "Barack Obama is post-racial. " -- that race is not a consideration in his politics.

I made the comment: "He's black? ! ! ! I was so impressed with what he had to say, I must have missed the black part."

I voted for Barack Obama because of the content of his character, not because of the color of his skin.

Election of our nation's President is a character issue. It should not be, and with respect to President Obama it is not a "race issue."

Dream on!

90% of black persons voting, voted for Obama yet many would not have been able to name a single policy of his.

Zedo, you probably voted Obama because you feel guilty about not being downtrodden and black ...

I'll bet he's downtrodden, who knows what colour he is, yellow I presume.

What "character" does he have when he hangs with people who murder in the name of violent revolution-- Bill Ayers, for one? King would spit on Ooga...

King was a Republican. Did you know that?

I voted because John McCain couldn't sustain a coherent policy direction two days running. His pick of Sarah Palin demonstrated poor judgment, a fact she continues to prove even after the election.

I agree that a lot of blacks voted for Obama because of race. And that's just as racist as not voting for him because of race -- be it his or yours.

I seriously considered writing in "T. Boone Pickens," but thought better of it when I realized that John McCain needs to be kept away from the Oval Office.

So, in the final analytics, I voted more against McCain than for anyone else. And if race entered into it, it's that John McCain and Sarah Palin don't belong in a race for President.

So if you voted against McCain and not for Obama why do you defend all his plans and schemes?

I like some of his stuff but can still see through the rest of it as being designed only to retain power.
