So, browsing around here, and also looking and listening around. I've learned that a big deal has been put up about Obama and how he's African American. Now, I don't want to deny that race isn't a big issue. And I don't want to irritate and anger about a billion people but ahh...
Obama is half white.
he was raised by his white mother
and his Indonesian stepfather
In indonesia
until he was ten.
after which he moved back to Hawaii with his mom
he only saw his father once after his father went back to Kenya when he was ten (Barack Sr. left when he was two)
Soooo.... I don't see why race is an issue in the presidential race anymore than why gender is(though Mccain's VP choice of Palin probably is... but the Hillary aspect is a factor. All Politics is I guess.... I'm rambling.)
I just wanted to state that I do not mean to offend anyone. I'm just tired of people saying others are 'racist' because they insult him. Some people are racist about him, I know that, but not everyone is.
I just wanted to voice in real quick.
I'll have a more academic blog tomorrow!
Be alert for partisan politics and idiocy!
Danke, Tsüs!!
