[QUOTE="non-religious, post: 48580006, member: 103142"] [FONT=Arial]I would strongly disagree with this. Racism is obviously now much more subtle than the days of black people being bitten by dogs, targeted with water and beaten with batons live on television. I don't even think it's about people being overly "racist", but more to do with people being indifferent to a black man leading their country. I'm not for one minute suggesting that people are burning crosses or lynching black people throughout the States. This form of prejudice is far more indirect and subtle, but I believe it very much still exists.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial]I liken it to having a white female bringing home her black boyfriend. There will be countless people suggesting that they wouldn't have a problem with it, until it happens to them. It's that kind of racism that I believe still exists. Not the "I hate N*****" type.[/FONT] [COLOR=green][/COLOR] [FONT=Arial][COLOR=black]I think we'll do him a grave dis-service to suggest that he won't win becos he's black. On the contrary, I think he'll lose becos of his policies and lack of experience. I'm merely sugging the fact that him being black will make things that little more difficult for many to vote for him.[/COLOR][/FONT] [COLOR=green][/COLOR] [FONT=Arial]I'm not sure that will ever happen (unfortunately)[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
