The Cellar - View Single Post - An interesting commentary on Race in the race

Besides the census, race in the United States is nothing more than culture (ask yourself when did the Irish become 'white'), so only when we give up race culture and multiculturalism and replace that with a more humanistic culture, can race and racism actually disappear.

Obama is the reaction to improving race relations in the United States but it is nothing more than a response. If we believe that we can get rid of negative race relations or racism all together in America by voting for Obama, we will do nothing more than shift our focus from the real problems and most likely regress in this area.
