I heard someone on the radio suggest that if Obama were elected President it would heal our country’s deepest wound, that being slavery. I repeated this to a black co-worker and the look on her face told me that wouldn’t be the case. Will that wound ever heal? How many years of affirmative action will we need? Forever? What would it take for all Americans to be on an equal footing? I’m white, too, and I suspect you are right.Today I was listening to Washington's WMAL 630-AM radio, the local conservative station, and there was a discussion of Michelle Obama's ingratitude. The host asked a black caller if he would concede that if Obama was elected president, racism would effectively be over in America and no further complaints of racism would be merited. The caller said that No, Obama's election would not mean the end of complaints.
If Obama is not elected president, I fear there will be riots.

On Sunday, Doug Wilder, the mayor of Richmond and a former governor of Virginia, went even further, predicting riots in the streets if the Clinton campaign were to overturn an Obama lead through the use of superdelegates.
“There will be chaos at the convention,” Wilder told Bob Schieffer on “Face the Nation.”
“If you think 1968 was bad, you watch: In 2008, it will be worse.”
