My concern is that I don't know if America is mature enough to elect a black man President, even if he is qualified.
Sadly I agree.

My husband and I were discussing this very fact and he said when he drives through Chicago there are often people chattering about the elections on the CB. There are a few he's heard several times who he said sound like blacks... speaking ebonics and going on and on about how when "their man" gets in office they're going to turn all
the crackers into their slaves and the whole country is going to see the power of the blacks when they start getting revenge. He said the far-fetched hatred they spew is just idiotic.

It's really sad that there are butt heads in every group and by spouting crap like that they get others arguing with them, and instead of furthering the cause of getting Obama elected, they're driving off voters who otherwise might not have worried about the color of his skin.

Whether he gets elected or not, I think it's going to re-open some race problems. Sad, but people are just stupid sometimes.
