What a load of bullshit did the fact that in the 2008 election over 50% of white people voted for Obama just fly right past you? And yes there is a point when you do have to get over it you want to see what hanging to every sin and injustice of the past gets you take a look at the middle east how has hanging on to all that baggage for a thousand plus years worked out for them.What does that have to do with my question? This will come as a major shock to you but there is not one race or nationality in this world that has not been used,abused or mistreated by another at one point in time and we all have descendants who have either been on the giving or receiving end of. My family is English on one side Irish on the other the English abused the Irish for year's and the Irish were treated like crap in America for a long time I don't use that past as a reason to say I have never been proud of my Country you accept it learn from it and move on asshole.How far back can YOU trace your family tree, asshole?
It matters because Conservatives love to say that black people should just "get over it." And by "it" they mean the whole "we shit on you for a couple hundred years and denied you your basic human equality for another hundred years and we still are JUST racist enough to give credibility to a conspiracy theory that rests on a half-black man being born in Kenya."
