On the Election of a Dark-Skinned Man
Of course, being in disagreement with our new president on some matters and especially on the matter of something I believe is an even graver evil than prejudice, and furthermore not being very agreeable to American politics and government in their current form at all, I'm not seeing much in the way of an overall gain today. I could say more on some other oddities related to such. However, I'd rather you just focused on the first point I raised: the extraordinary thing isn't what happened today, it's what happened in past days that today is supposedly remedying.

Which, sadly, makes you a racist.
Yeah, and anybody who objected to Hillary back in the primaries was sexist. I said several times that I'd be happy to vote for a woman if one ever runs who remotely agrees with my politics (and demonstrated that, I think, by voting for a female VP candidate...). It's the same with race. I don't care if a guy is black or white or purple with green polka-dots. I do care about his policies, and several of Obama's I find very disturbing.
Wait, Der Wolfanwalt. Did you say the good Cobbler was a racist? I've re-read his post, I'm not sure how you got that impression. Mr. Cobbler said that it was the right and normal thing for a black man to be considered electable.
If that's not what you meant, forgive me. I might have read your comment wrong.
Again, Cobbler, great post.
I think he was pointing out the irony. I apologize, by the way, if my own comment was overly confrontational in tone. I get cranky about these sorts of things.
