in my opinion, his race shouldn't even need to be mentioned) I completely agree race shouldn't matter for Obama and certainly not for anyone else.
That statement actually reminded me of this guy I knew in High School named Rodney, he was Caucasian and generally just a dim-witted but overall nice guy. One day we were hanging by the coke machines and I must have said something that really struck a cord with him. Because the next thing I know he turns to me and says: "Hey you're pretty cool for a black girl!!"
I furrowed my brow and slowly said "Thannnnnnkkkkk Yooouuuu?" He made it sound like I was cool
because I was black. I already know I'm cool, I'm black, and a girl...thanks for the news flash!!
But later he told me he said it because his father was some sort of Grand or Imperial Wizard in the Klan who'd been basically force feeding him crap all his life about "different" people. After that we actually became good friends, but I never went to his house for tea...if you know what I'm sayin'.
