They’re tearing out the rose garden and putting in a watermelon patch? just repeating something I heard and got a laugh out of, I don’t believe that the presidency should be a race issue. _however_ if the presidency isn’t a race issue, then there ought to be other headlines rather than “first black president” etc. and if it isn’t a race issue, then I don’t see why the black community embraces him the way that they have (95% of black voters voted Obama). I think it is hypocritical for a white person to be scalded for saying anything about Obama’s race in anything but praise, yet for minorities their vote was very much a race issue and make no attempt to disguise it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/our-44th-president-barack-hussein-obama/200520)._
