now again,i'm black,and while i TRY never to see race as an issue,no matter the topic...it happens to always come out...and after reading this...part of me is glad that he didn't see him as a BLACK president...but the president. alot of people,racist and NON racist for the record just think that because he's black "he got alot of the votes" blah blah...that's not my concern. my real thing has always,will always,and shall always be "not to see a man by the color of his skin but the content of his character" so i will say as a black man...i'd rather just be a MAN first.....while not forgetting the history of my people...i don't,want it to sound like i'm using it as a crutch,because i never have,nor will i ever,i am a man,and i am american,my color be damned...and once ALL people get that message....the better off america will be. in my opinion that is.
