oh get over urself
because i want people to view obama as a man who can change things for the better rather than as the black guy makes me "mind-bogglingly ignorant" and an "ignorant fool who is desensitised to matters of bigotry and racism."
I'm in fact looking for the oppsosite. A world where it is not BLACKS VS WHITES but a world where the man with the best vision and potential is celebrated as a man for those attributes, not because of his background.
Edit: I would have preferred McCain even though I dont like either of them.
Key word there want. You *want* people to view Obama as someone other than 'that black guy'. Wake up to the world. It will
never happen. I'm not saying that a lot of people won't recognize the type of person that he is, and define him apart from his race, but lets face it: After many years of racism towards the black population of America, a black man has been voted president and there are people in this world both black and white, that are cheering for that very fact.
I too want the world to be a socialist haven where everyone is treated the same way (not communism, that's just crazy), and everyone bases their opinion from the personality of a person rather than the way they look or act or by what they wear or any other physical characteristic, but this is humanity we're talking about. Somewhere there will always be someone that is raised ignorant of the world and judges people for these physical characteristics. Humans are naturally afraid of the unexpected, and therefore there will always be someone that has a biased view of another person for whatever reason.
We can live in ignorance and hope that everyone will one day hold unbiased views of everyone else, or we can live in the reality that is today's world and live our lives bettering ourselves for that goal while accepting the flaws in the design of the human being to forever judge without knowledge.
