An idealist meets reality. It sounds good, and highly desirable, but hardly realistic.

There's also a catch22 aspect in that it matters to me because it matters to others.
I have to take into consideration can he do the job or will he, if elected, be inefectual because other people care about color. Should I vote for someone else, that I think would be efectual, but I don't think is as good? Or should I vote for him, fearing he can't do it, just to make a statement? But if I do that I'm voting for color, which is just as bad as voting against it.

So it will always be complicated by other peoples positions. I can't see that it makes a hill of beans if a woman or black man/woman ever gets to be president, as long as the ones that are president do a good job, but I understand I'm in the minority(no pun) there. I couldn't understand the superbowl deal either, I thought the superbowl was about football.

I guess I'm not sensitive enough and need more diversity training.
I'm performance oriented and get annoyed with the bullshit that distracts them from the job at hand.
