This all reads like the civil-rights equivalent of "I was at Woodstock".

And Batack Obama is not black. He's 1/8 black, 3/8 Arab, and 1/2 white.

Okay...right...the most radical racial administration in history certainly needs more cowbell...

If you asked me, I'd say the people that care about this, that watch, count, run the numbers and fret over it, are the ones causing the renewed race problems in this Country. Who gives a flying whoop what the racial mix is in any organization? I'd be happy if obama would bring in a few new people with the following simple selection criteria: a) they're not socialist/fascist and do believe in the Constitution, and b) they capable/knowledgeable and know what they're doing. I honestly could not care less about their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or what NFL team they follow.

Seriously, going on 50 years since the civil rights movement, suddenly race and racism is a hot topic again? WTF! America and Americans did not suddenly lurch backwards 40+ years. I believe this renewed (and artificial) emphasis on race is by design, by those in the obama administration, MSM, and the left in general. They see their policies failing (heck, they knew they wouldn't work), and need a distraction and a means of trying to hold on to their eroding power base.

Hawaiian-born?

Rosslyn writes that with such confidence. When did she see the long form birth certificate? Huh?

Black and White Obama voters had different expectations. Someone once tried to find out what an "integrated neighborhood" meant to Blacks and Whites. Whites assumed that it was a neighborhood where the percentage of African-Americans was as high as it was in the nation as a whole, or maybe a little higher, so from 13% to 20%. Blacks would consider that close to tokenism and would expect an integrated neighborhood to contain a larger percentage of African-Americans, enough to sustain Black institutions and identity.

It's the same way with the Obama administration. Whites who voted for him expected not to hear so much about race -- they'd already elected a Black man, hadn't they? Wasn't that the important thing? Blacks figured that they'd finally get their piece of the pie, and that there would be a lot more talk about race and racism. Hence the conflicts, which are greater than if a White Democrat had been elected.
