Reps: 919 (power: 0) | | Greetings, my northern neigbors! I'm wondering if Obama gets elected (which I hope he does), how long before Canada elects her own non-white prime minister. I just have a feeling that America is poised to set a precedent for Europe, Oceania, and North America.
Why are you so worried? Are you looking to move to Canada and save yourself from a non white president? You are happy living 8 years under a moron named Bush but when an intelligent black president gets elected you get scared? |

You're question is suspicious and seems to have a little fear in it. Why does it matter if there will be more non-white leaders in the western world? It's the 21st century, race should not be an issue any more unless your one of those bush republicans from the south. Time to move forward, not backwards. |

Read my op real carefully this time and then consider your first response. No further clues will be forthcoming from me. If you still don't get it, then that's on you.

Except for the part where he says he hopes Obama gets elected. Why does it matter if there will be more non-white leaders in the western world? It's the 21st century, race should not be an issue any more unless your one of those bush republicans from the south. Time to move forward, not backwards.
No, it shouldn't be an issue. But in lots of places, it is. More black leaders could help change the opinions of those who do take issue with race.
You read a lot more into his question than was warranted.

Right in the OP:
"...if Obama gets elected (which I hope he does)..."
A Republican can support Obama over McCain; lots of them did. Try reading what a person actually says, rather than what a little icon might indicate.
