BTW, if i were picking states that would have a good understanding of the challenges of race, of all the 50 states, I would name your state 2nd ...right after Mississippi. So I'm not sure why you are so puzzled.

I dunno, I guess I just have a weird view on things. To me if a person is qualified to do the task, and they do it well, who cares what color/gender/etc. they are.

I don't care if my surgeon is the first homosexual Chilean open heart surgeon with hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia as long as he saves my life.

It still doesn't erase the challenges people face. Being unaware of what is going on isn't always a strength.

BTW, what is the meaning of your Obama signature picture?
