Some people out their in our beloved America think Barack Obama should not be President of the United States, the melting pot of the world, because he is black. Oh My God! It's 2008! Can't we grow up and see beyond color? Are we doomed to our leaders having milky white skin but a very small and limited way of thinking? Why can't we elect a man of color, who is beyond intelligent, who wants to take our country in a new direction, and leave behind the divisions that have existed since America became a nation?
It's time to leave behind the small minds who would say that only a white person is capable of leading our country into the 21st century. It's nothing but ignorance to feel that way.
I think I am safe in saying that there is no one in our country who is pure "white." Even the white supremacists, who make me want to throw up, aren't pure "white." They're kidding themselves if they think otherwise.
Barack Obama is half "white", half "black". He was raised by a "white" family. The only thing not "white" about him is his skin color. You can bet that in a few short years, most Americans will be of a darker skin. What, oh what, will the Republicans do then? Their milky white skin will be the one that stands out in a crowd. But we won't say, "I won't vote for them because they're white, they're less, and don't deserve to have a place in running our country," because by then HOPEFULLY we will have outgrown that childishness, and small minded way of thinking.
Get out in the world! People are no different inside, whether they are black, white, brown, yellow, red, or fucking turqoise! When our forefathers wrote the Constitution, which we still have thankfully, in spite of the Republican party, they wrote that everyone is entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that we are ALL created equal!
It's time to look beyond a person's skin color, and to see what is inside. Honestly, can a man who has a darker skin tone be worse than what we have been stuck with for the last 8 years? Maybe if John McCain had a little melanin in his skin, he would be less prone to skin cancer!
GET OVER YOURSELVES....do something for our country other than set us back to the dark ages. It's time to evolve and progress!
I'm through ranting now.
PEACE!

What a refreshing blog. Skin color DOES NOT matter. Who cares if Obama was raised by a "white" family. I could care less... it doesn't matter if he's "all black" or "half black." He's human and he's what's right for America.
And if people are really basing their vote on the color of a man's skin... they God help them.
You said the f word.....
