I saw this headline, just when logging into my yahoo account: Obama has more threats than other presidents-elect
Now why is that? Now truth be told, I am black, but I am not ignorant and definitely not unaware. And this comment is not to start some rant of racism, because I think if adults can remember to think like children, with all their innocence before the world marks us with its disposition, then we should be able to accept or confront a situation without violence, right? But WHY is that? Let's face it, black, Latino, Aisan, whoever, there were several unhappy with Bush's term...ahem, DOUBLE term, but you don't see us going on raves trying to KILL the man. We put up with things, deal with them, realize what will be will be and keep it moving...but when you start deciding that how YOU feel must be felt by everyone in an entire nation, ie killing not only our President but a father, a husband, an accomplished citizen, a MAN for goodness sakes! then I think there needs to be some re-adjustment. I'm very concerned. Very disturbed. There's no need for it. None. You don't like him, move. Go to another country. Or just let it go. Face it, McCain didn't win. It's over. The election was over. But NO one has the supremacy to take another's life because they're not happy. Darnit I'm upset! It's time to GROW up.

Not at all. Too many evidences that it's about his color, not his policies, that so many are enraged about. C'mon. The KKK, parents telling their children Obama's going to round up all the whites for massacre, posting a sign "public hanging"... I'm not making any of this up. It's definitely not out the window. And I want to steer clear of sounding totally defensive, but please. Race has never been "out the window." Heck, it's practically the very solid that holds the nation's foundation together!
