<<<I think we Whites, assuming that you are White, have no idea about the confusion and conflict that would be felt about what the Rev Wright stood for, even if one were a graduate of Harvard Law. And even with that ambivalence and confusion, that person could still stand for President of the U.S. and be worthy. Basically, I don't like the snottiness of your remark-->>> I don't mean to be flippant, but this is not about black America or white America, this is about the United States of America. You have never heard me say one bad word about Barack Obama. My complaint has been against his supporters who are mostly white. They are rushing Obama to be President before he is ready. Obama is only 47 years old with only one year on the national scene. No matter how talented you are you need more than one year of experience to do anything. They are not going to make you a school principal with just one year of teaching experience. You are unlikely to be president of any business organization with only one year of relevant experience. What does this have anything to do with being African American. We want all people to be judged with one yard stick. What does that have to do with race. Maybe the people of Chicago have known of Barack for a number years, but the rest of America has known Barack less than one year. Do we need to find out more about someone to become our President? Is that racism? As fo me, I have supported Hillary from the beginning. I think she is the most qualified person to be President of the United States. Does that make me a racist? Does that make me snotty? Does that offend you?
