Paisley (http://justpaisley.whypaisley.com) commented on an earlier post of mine;
"i am so over all this color shit..."
Truth be told - me too.
Been over it.
It was never (well... in recent years) more of a problem than we made it.
Obama won because his issues were bigger than race.
Race was a problem for the simps to fight over.
Are we talking genotypes or phenotypes?
Medically, race may have some merit.
Socially, race is largely obsolete (or should be).
We still can't even seem to agree on a universal definition of race.
But just when you think that America has a chance to become post-racial.
Blogs like this (http://whyblackssuck.blogspot.com/) crop up.
It makes as much sense as attributing all of the traits of white people to the headlines in the morning papers.
If we keep looking for racism - we'll find it.
If we keep looking for the good in people - we'll find that too.
The rest of Ms Paisley's comments are more important.
Eff the pageantry, she wants to know about policy, issues and answers - not a minor (in most cases) distraction like race.
Like the Steeler's expectation of Mike Tomlin - it's about results.
