Nothing to see here, people, we have a black man as president. The sins and repercussions of the past have been washed away. Thank you black jesus, obama, for cleansing me of my white guilt.

Well, it was Derwood.

This is an equal country offering equal power, the highest office in the land is currently held by an African American. We have black representatives and senators as well as black judges and even supreme court justices. Colin Powell was the Secretary of State, Commander in Chief of the US Army Forces Command and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Black people have had their fare share of power in this nation, and it was well deserved.

 

Oh, OK, everything's fixed. I guess with Obama as President things like redlining, blockbusting and the 15% tipping point for white flight will vanish. All of those studies after studies that show that people whose names are considered or who even just sound "too black" are hired at a dramatically lower rate than white applicants of equal or lesser qualification are now all better, right?

Mojo it's pretty simple, if African Americans are starting to take some of the highest offices in the nation, some of which are based on America's vote, we ain't as racist as feel good liberal minded white people like to say we are. Think about it, black man voted into office. If were really as horribly racist to the extent you think, it doesn't happen. Period.

You're really not grasping this at all.

someone needs to put this thread in a time capsule for Skyballer so ten years from now he can read it and facepalm himself

I don't know your posting history enough to assume sarcasm.
