When we do then they say "you shouldn't ought have done that"! Saddam Hussein slaughtered the shiite's in the south with helicopter gunships during the uprising after Desert Storm. The world screamed that we should do something. We did! You throw the word Racism around pretty easily. Is there a new definition? Racism - doing the right thing if it is not politically correct. When there is no legitimate defense accuse the other person of racism. Obama is not the first black president! He is the first mixed race president. Why do people overlook that he is half white also?
Great point on the half white issue. To me it's because he has black skin, it's that simple The Black race and the media also need a hero heck, look at Tiger Woods. The first Black man to dominate the sport right? Again, it's hardly ever mentioned his Mother is Asian. Racism is not dead never will be.

Example, I have had people who don't know me start on the Japanese race. I let them talk just to see how far they will go. Sure, I could have crushed their little bitty heads but the look on their face was priceless when I explained how I didn't appreciate their opinions since my Mom is Japanese. Have to admit I got red faced but kept it under control. These were 55-60 year old men! Successful educated business men. Now I know how they really think and they fall all over themselves trying to be nice to me now....whatever.
