ORIGINAL: JustDarkness mmmm is race still such a huge issue overthere? (ok I come from a damn shitty small country...but I am supprised by times) Unfortunately, you really shouldn't be too surprised. Its a shame. However, if it wasn't race, it would be religion, geography, ethnic group, or something else. It's what politicians and those seeking power do...split people into categories, slice and dice them, and than pit them against each other. Happens in small countries like Northern Ireland with protestant on catholic, Muslim on christian, Muslim on Muslim, French on arab, German on Turk immigrants, Spanish on Spanish, tribe on tribe...and on and on.. It's what we do! On the other hand, in the USA, whether I agre with his political philsophy or not, Obama has won his parties nomination not because of the black voter but because of white voters. His job, and I hope he doesn't succeed, is to convince more white voters that he is their kinda man over the next few weeks.
