My teacher said something like this too. She was pissed when everyone kept favoring Obama because of his race. She said she thought the whites would think Obama would be a disaster while the blacks think Obama will a godsend for the African-American population. She said it's not that, we're electing him because he's going to help out and fix our ailing economy. She said whoever voted for Obama because of his skin color, ought to not vote. And boy it makes me sick when people even in this day and age, judge someone because of their race. :rolleyes: Unfortunately, it's not happening in the US, it's also worldwide. People should understand that there are more important issues in the world besides someone's race. Everyone is supposed to be equal and tolerant of each other.

The biosphere is collapsing. Glaciers are melting at unimaginable rates. More and more rare species are dying daily. The economy is plummeting, unemployment rates are skyrocketing.  These issues are more important then a president's race. Sheesh, can't people be equal with each other these days and focus on something else more worthy!

I Agree 100% Vic! I can't stand people judging other people based on their race <_<... Were all human beings! Whats the difference?! Everyone has to be bias because they have this urge to judge someone else on their skin color when there are other things to worry about..
