Morgan Freeman agrees with me

:O: Facts!

That's interesting stuff. My question is, why not sooner? I wish it wouldn't have taken this long for a mixed race president to be elected. I mean, I see what's going on with the Zimmerman trial and what not. All the riots. I really hate how race is such a big issue in this country. We're supposed to be a melting pot, right? We're American's, plain and simple. We're not African-Americans, Asian-American's, Arab-Americans, etc, etc. We're Americans. I hope there comes a time when color isn't an issue, doesn't even get brought up. A time where we are simply, well, Americans. :)

Why does race matter at all?

It doesn't.

Shame on anybody who thinks otherwise.

:timeout:

I thought Clinton was our 1st Black POTUS? :hmm2:

White racists used to say that if you had one drop of black blood in you, you were black, period. Now they say he's okay because he's not "all black". Most of us have some mixture or another in us. If the criterion is "how much", then I'm not "all white".

People who hate Obama look at his skin and see black. People who love Obama look at his skin and see black. I think the whole "mixed race" think is just another reason to either defend the man or dismiss him. I also think it's more than a little lame.

A black fella I once worked with in the 60s said to me "Pete, I treat each man as I find him" I never forgot that little gem and still use it.

Sound advice that. :yep:

The current evidence* suggests that we all came out of Africa ~60,000 years ago, from where we'd (they'd) been living for ~140,000 years previously.

So we are all black. :)

So why do I have such a small . . . ? :oops:

(Just kidding, all my ex's have called me Herr-Dong)


*For non-creationists only

Maybe they have called you herr-dong because you are a bit of a dong, nothing to do with size :D

Hey, wait a minute :hmmm:

Morgan Freeman agrees with me too. I told four years ago Obama is a white culture mulatto.

I think mixed race describes most African-Americans including Morgan Freeman.

I don't know about all of that, but I do know I'd like to have Morgan Freeman narrate my day to day life. It would sound awesome.

I don't think petty things like race really means much when the Aliens invade.

I'll see your Morgan Freeman and raise you a James Earl Jones. :rock:
