At one time, this was true here. I'm not even sure it was true here when
Barak was born. I doubt it was true in Kenya or, for that matter, Hawaii,
both areas where the native population is something other than white. What
is interesting, though, is that Barak has even less heritage in common with
those whose ancestors were slaves in this country, than I do. At least my
ancestors were in this country when slavery was a reality. It is a virtual
certainty that Barak is using racial issues in this country to promote his
own agenda and not because he's genuinely concerned with their condition.
He's driving a wedge between the races of this country instead of bringing
citizens together, another act that's far from what I look for in a
President.
He'd only be drawing a wedge between racists and non-racists. He's
unifying the latter of all colors just like that other great black
orator, Martin Luther King, Jr. And whether or not his father's
ancestors were slaves in this country 150 years ago does not change
the fact that he is a black man in America today. When cops pull over
a black man in a BMW for "driving while black", say, they don't run a
check on the driver's heritage before pulling him over. Color is all
that matters.
