Let me start off this installment of my opinion by saying that I'm not racist. I've lived around blacks (People of color, colored, whatever...)all my life. I have great respect for them. They're hard working, honest, and a credit to the human race. In fact, the other day, I had a question on a project that I was working on between my department and another department and the fellow that I was working with in the other department was a black man. I asked my question and when his answer didn't make sense, we both examined the others work more closely, and discovered that the documents I had been given were the wrong documents for his project. What impressed me was the fact that he didn't treat my question as a stupid one and blow me off. He actually came over to my desk a few hours after I'd asked the initial question, brought his paper work, and we went through them both together. Actions say a lot without having to say anything at all.
Here are a few facts that I'm extreemly happy about:
- That white americans are getting more color-blind as far as race is concerned. I just hope the Rev. Wrights of the world can become more color-blind as well.
- That we had a really interesting primary elections race. In this race, we had a white woman, a black man, and a white man. Condoleezza Rice should have run on the republican ticket we'd have had the best of both worlds.
- I saw some uproar from black leaders in regards to Rev Wrights comments about racial relations in America.
But it's issues that get candidates on the map. And sofar about the only place that Barak and I agree is that Families need reinforcing. That's about where our agreeing stops.
99% of what he's proposing is straight out of the communists handbook. Free this, Free that, etc...
Either way, you get what you pay for.
