It pisses me off that we as a species in the year 2009 still CARE about race. How long have we been trying to have true racial 'equality' in this country and yet after the election of a black president, whose victory should have assured that race is a non-issue, it's the major issue. "Wow, a black president!" is the recurring theme, and I have to wonder why so much is being made of it. Do people generally think a black man is incapable of such a job? If not, exactly why is it such a big deal?
Yes. He's black. Can we now start fixing problems and dealing with stuff like, I don't know, war, the economy, things of that sort? What do you people want, a sticker? Good job, you elected a black guy. How about a high-five?
Maybe I'm the odd man out here, but I could give a shit what color he is. I'm more concerned about how he will conduct himself and what legislation he's planning on signing. If race is such a non issue, then shut the hell up about it, ok?
The sad thing about it all, is now Michael Steele is at the helm of the RNC, and the FIRST thing the news hits on?
The Republican Party chose the first black national chairman in its history Friday, just shy of three months after the nation elected a Democrat as the first African-American president. The choice marked no less than "the dawn of a new party," declared the new GOP chairman, former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele
So is race now the predominant factor in choosing politicians? No you say? Somebody had better go tell the media, because they don't seem to get it.
