Quote:before you start lecturing people over it.It was not a lecture. It was an observation and a wish for better. Your post was, however, a lecture about how I was wrong to not accept the hoopla that seems to indicate that his election can somehow start to make up for the oppression during those 43 presidencies. It can't be done since most of those who were hurt the most are no longer with us, nor are the ones that did the hurting around to do the making up. Also, my complaint was that every commentary I saw offered up was regarding his skin color (he is biracial, by the way), not just "some measure", every one. It was the sole focus. Then, you offer up that we need to wait for one example of each category to be president before we can focus on the person and not the package they are wrapped up in? Give me a break. I have more hope for humanity than that.
