“Like I said in another thread of mine:

Obama will not fulfill MLK’s dream of a post-racial America.

Obama will divide us even further.”

The interesting thing is that many of us of European decent, have really moved past race mattering. We will accept and judge someone “based on the content of their character”.

But we get really tired of all those people who constantly harp on this issue and make excuses.
We just want to see people shut up, get to work, and quit whining.
In all of our lives, we all have had many obstacles to overcome, and people not like us for one reason or another.

I think it would be very safe to say that, as a percentage of their group, blacks have recently exposed that they are MUCH more racist than whites.

They'll never let it go, because it really wasn't ever about equality, it was about superiority and vengeance, even though those who committed the "crime" are no longer here. American whites, who shed blood to be rid of slavery, have been singled out to perpetually pay for their sin, even though slavery was never singular to either this one people or this one time in history. Who do I sue if my ancestors could be proven to have been slaves under Roman rule? In America, you don't even have to prove it to that degree. Your ancestors could've come from South America or the Caribbean, or have white or other ancestry, but if you are visibly black (like Hussein), you get to jump on the "make whitey pay" bandwagon. A white person's ancestors could've been part of the great immigration through Ellis Island, after the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, but if you are visibly white, you are a "sinner".
