Amazing! Of course I have mentioned that Barack Obama is black. He is. Of course I mentioned that McCain is old. He is. Both candidates had hurdles to overcome amongst some voters, and whichever was elected, it would have been a first. It would also have been a first to actually have the first female elected nationally. All of these things add to what makes America a great country.

Anonymous is incorrect in comments about Obama..., he was not the first black candidate for president. You'd have to dig a little, but I'll give you this. He was the first black candidate for presidenthe on a major party ticket. Anonymous twice called me a racist for noting that Obama is black. Hell, that was one of his qualities, not negatives. I question what kind of a mindset anonymous must come from. Clearly, he/she has no understanding of what racism is.

Go back and ask a 14 year old boy from the 1940s who was castrated then hanged by the KKK because he whistled at a white girl. His body was taken back north to Chicago where his mother demanded an open casket, to show what racism means!

Go t Darfur where Muslim Arabs are murdering black Christians, and Europeans aren't doing anything because the victims are black, and they don't want to offend Muslims. That's racism!

Go back, look at what is now Somalia, and watch as black muslim tribes sell other black women and little children from other tribes into slavery on Portugues ships during the 1500s. I suspect the writer has no clue, no any wilingness to stand up to what real racism is!

Just try driving with a black man in a Bently, RollsRoyce, or high end BMW almost anywhere in this country. Just count the seconds, in any town you know, until you're stopped by some cop. That is racism! Don't you dare call me a racist!
