Obama isn't bad, nor is he great. My life went on unchanged, except for having to deal with the annoying remarks about how he's a communist, in our amazingly republican state of Tennessee :/

Also, he pretty much wins the nobel prize for being black, which doesn't help his rep much.

But he's more of a celebrity than a president

BTW I think it is pointless to have regret for what your forefathers did. You didn't have any control over it, so why worry so much about apologies and whatnot?
Racism is wrong, but so is reverse-racism.

Jak: That's exactly my point. Why mope around about what happened friggin' hundreds of years ago? Oh, and by "reverse-racism", I hope you're not referring to blacks mistreating whites. Because that's just normal racism.

I'm saying this not because I think you mean that, but because the phrase has actually been used in the meaning I mentioned. Fucking swedish politicians and media people. I should write a song about them. A very, very hateful one.

As a side note: Obama may not be communist, but he sure is very socialistic. Which is... Far from good in any opinion of mine. :3

No, I mean whites trying to give blacks an advantage, or treat them better to avoid being called racist.

Oh yeah, it's slightly annoying to hear people call him a communist, since that is far worse than socialist. Until he becomes a dictator, I would refuse to agree with that claim.

Socialistic, though? Probably

Political Debate in MY birthday thread?

Its more likley then you think.
