I read the same history books that said Columbus discovered america even though in the picture I saw NA's watching him come ashore.
Washington was the first president after the revolution and he also helped put together the document that listed Black people as 3/5ths human and owned slaves.
Lincoln freed the slaves and won a civil war all while being a racist himself. I'd say both were in the running for being divisive. Lincoln died over his divisiveness.
In the last 100 years I would say Kennedy and Nixon are also in the running. Obama is laboring under the delusion that race relations in this country were actually resolved. There are still too many cave monkeys running around for his plans to work.
Actually Obama is anti capitalist who came to office with a preconceived notion that America is a racist nation that not only abuses it's people, but the entire world. To Obama, America is the problem with the world today.
America is a racist nation. you must have forgotten its past and present. I can also agree that it is the cause of a lot of world problems. However, Obama has more hope for this country than I currently have. The events that have transpired since his run for office and 2 elections show that there is still much work to do. Maybe the death of the older white racists will bring about the peace this nation needs.
Maybe in your dreams. Majority of Americans voted for a black man to be president. Does racism and bigotry still exist in America? You betcha. We see it right here on this very board.
But thanks to Obama, the chances of America voting for another black person just went down dramatically, especially if he or she is a Democrat. He basically fucked up the world and divided Americans every possible way that he could.
Not the majority of white people. Lots of whites voted for him but the majority voted for the other white guy. Every other race the majority voted for the Black man. Twice.
Its curious that you believe Americans are not racist but wont vote for another Black man because of Obama. That position is contradictory to what your claim is. I also dont think you are aware that whites are the minority now.
Never said I wouldn't vote for a black. I would, if the repubs come up with a good one. I like the doctor who's a neurosurgeon (forget his name), but not sure what his political experience is. Whatever it is, it's much better than what we have now.
What I'm saying is Obama ruined it for the rest of the blacks who wish to run for presidency now, but especially if they're democrats, because America will remember all the divisiveness, incompetence, lying, and particularly the racial tensions during Obama's presidency.
Funny part of it is when Obama became president, we all thought that America had finally turned the corner on it's racist past. People didn't care about who Obama was, or his extremist anti American ideology, or his radical associates, they just wanted to have a black president, as if they were out to prove something. Well, they got what they asked for.
Hopefully, next time America will vote with it's head and not it's heart, like a teenager in love.
