Put away your race cards

That argument doesn't hold water anymore.  This country just elected a black man as President.

It's gonna be an interesting two years.....

Two years. Hmm....

If only that were true, re: the race card. I'd sincerely like to hear the rationale for your argument.

Simple. The president-elect is black. How can the system be racist? How can the US be a racist country? How can the government be racist when its leader is not white?

The argument that the system is biased, that this country is racist, and that the government favors whites therefore no longer holds any water.

Joe,
Just call. I can't discuss it in this forum. I get too pissed.

Two years? Better than four! :)

It was fun watching the joy last night, tho, you have to admit. Pres. Obamna seems a serious man--I have to believe he'll be a moderating force on the Pelosis, etc.

A black President named Obama. That sound you hear in the distance is so many of our deceased relatives spinning and spinning!

I voted for McCain, but it was a great night last night to be an American.
