People never think of my children as black and their father did have an even more mixed heritage than Obama's, but then they don't look black and are pretty fair skinned. Still, when they were little and were seen with their father, there were some that called them "niggers". My daughter, who was seven at the time this happened to her, patted my hand when she told me about it and said, "they're just ignorant, Mom". Ah, the wisdom on the young!Sylvia Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18259032453252447339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881389390266605547.post-58928838519694862732008-08-30T06:31:00.000-07:002008-08-30T06:31:00.000-07:00Income and health care are huge problems for me as...Income and health care are huge problems for me as I approach what should have been my retirement age. What puzzles me in all of the mass media election coverage is what happened to Obama's white heritage? He is always referred to as the first African-American or black candidate. Are we still living under octaroon laws, when the teeniest tiniest drop of black African blood in one's veins meant one was black? <BR/><BR/>I must differ with those who believe Obama will run off with the election. Think of the hate in this country that was strong enough for U.S. citizens -- former military soldiers -- to blow up the Murro Building in Oklahoma City. That hate is still simmering out there. <BR/><BR/>Good thoughtful column, Sylvia.TropiGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11446899192152298083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881389390266605547.post-45235274490783740612008-08-29T14:48:00.000-07:002008-08-29T14:48:00.000-07:00I feel like Obama won't have any trouble winning t...I feel like Obama won't have any trouble winning this race. I think McCain has ruined his chance now with his new vice presidential candidate. She is pretty but if something happens to him who wants her to be president of the United States. I think he thought he would get the womens vote and the Hillary supporters with her. No chance!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12078537002880283509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881389390266605547.post-25591374724083655792008-08-29T10:37:00.000-07:002008-08-29T10:37:00.000-07:00I don't know why everyone thinks this race is so c...I don't know why everyone thinks this race is so close. It will be amazing if Obama doesn't just run off with the election. However, only intelligent voters will feel that way. Many, many Americans fall for that swiftboat tactic that was used on Kerry last election.<BR/><BR/>Too many voters don't study the issues and just vote for the one with the best propaganda.Margie's Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11206751037182686016noreply@blogger.com
