You don’t see the problem in making the first black president a witch doctor?

You need a new prescription. He has a bone through his nose, for pete’s sake.

Well, I’ll tell you —- and I know this will put me on dangerous ground —- I think if we continually focus on Obama’s racial heritage, we will never get to the “post racial” society that he himself says he wants.

I saw a youtube interview with Samuel L. Jackson and somebody, and the somebody asked him how we get past race. Jackson answered (paraphrased), if you want to get past race, stop calling me a black man, stop calling yourself a white man, just accept us all as people.

Maybe I need to apologize for it, but I agree with that philosophy. And you know, I think Obama does, too.
