Point of order. We haven't elected a Black president. I would have thought I'd have voted for Colin Powell, untill he turned dumbass. Connie Rice, we could have a Black woman. Maybe not the trifecta KH seeks, but more likely a success.

A friend of mine supposedly has a mutual friend with the Powells. According to the scuttlebutt, Powell decided not to run for President because his wife was afraid of assassination.

To me that's good news. I'd rather he was pro life, but that's not up to me. I'm just wondering what effect this might have on the civil rights movement? If a black man can reach the nation's top office, that's pretty much finished, right? The slavery thing is so far in the past of this country that Americans can vote in a black man. That's great, it shows we've really matured past hatred. It's like a jew getting elected to the highest office in France or Germany. Certainly these backward countries have not progressed so far.

Anyway, my point is, we can forget about programs that give preference on the basis of race now, right?

I think Obama's election will change the tone of civil rights.

Remember when Jesse Jackson said he wanted to cut Obama's nuts off? It's because Obama wasn't following the "line" which began with the King assassination: Obama wasn't playing the "victim" card. He didn't run as a black man but rather he acts as if his blackness is irrelevant. Jackson saw this tactic was weakening the Blacks's striving for equality. Buit Obama is instead advancing civil rights.

Obama is ushering in a new era where race no longer matters. And that's where we've been trying to get.

Yes, even Zkribbler can get thumbs up on occasion.

Black people have some expectations about Obama that probably won't be fullfilled. I wouldn't go claiming the end of the civil rights movement.

Kid, despite what delusions you may hold, you are not the emperor of black people.

That doesn't make what he said incorrect.

Darius# and Reisstiu# insinuated that Kid's last post was wrong when in fact Kid is correct. Better?

Nobody insinuated any such thing; we were just making fun of what Kid had to say on this thread.
