Post-racial... i think the liberal illuminati might want to push that idea with Obama in the white house but that fact is that our country is far to steeped in that history to us to be post-racial. There are probably people still alive whose grandparents owned slaves or are at least not far removed from it. I would guess there are thousands of black people who haven't been able to vote their whole life. Until we live in a world where no one has experience this kind of injustice i wouldn't say we are past / post anything.

My great grandmother was born in 1851 and died in 1948 seems like she or my other grand parents would have been a little young to own slaves if they had even wanted to.

Post-racial? Ask Revs Jackson and Al if they are going along with the "post-racial" theme. There's too much money and power in the racial injustice industry to think it's going to disappear. By the way, ask the Clintons if the Obama campaign "played down" the subject of race.

How can we be post racial with a racist being President? More than 90% of the black community voted for him -that is as racial as it gets. We have a President whose preacher and friend for more than 20 years has publically expressed a hatred for whites and made outrageous charges against the same. Had Obama lost the election, the liberal media would have touted racism as being the cause of his defeat rather than it being his socialist agenda.You jest!

No, no, no... Post-racial means Jackson/Sharpton will have to look for other arguments (other than race) to brainwash their own people into believing there is no opportunity to improve their own situation. Obama's election PROVES anyone can achieve anything if they want it bad enough. Conservatives have to love the hypocrisy that the last two Democratic presidents exposed: Clinton obliterated the NOW/Steinem militancy and Obama crushes the Jackson/Sharpton race-bating blackmailers.

The injustice of slavery is indeed horific. The history of mankind is replete with it -- and in some parts of Africa it still exists today -- blacks enslaving blacks. History shows that many races have enslaved many races. Thankfully, it is no longer widely practiced or accepted. But while slavery is on the decline, we have, in our modern, medical science-enabled world, given rise to an even more apalling injustice. It is the murder of over 40 million defenseless babies since Roe v. Wade through abortion. The blood of these slaughtered innocents rises higher with each passing day -- and it surpasses any evil perpetrated by the race of man upon fellow man. God deliver us from evil - for our politicians surely refuse to do so. Maranatha

Are you serious? None of my family ever owned slaves.... particularly my grandparents nor my great grandparents, despite my mother's family being southern. Some of the race issues that still go on in this country is because of people like you thinking that. In this area, people are now facing accusations of, "If you voted for McCain, you are obvious raciest because you didn't want to vote for the black man." And that is even coming from schools, not just adults, but children. Who are the racist people? I've run into black people, or should I say, African American people who are now rubbing it into my face about this whole election thing and I'm being marked as a racist because I'm white and supported MaCain. How are we supposed to get over this whole race thing with this? The most racist people I've ever run into are black people.

Post racial? Then why was he so eager to get a Jew as his chief of staff? His administration will be larded with Neocons. Trust me on this.

What does that even mean, Postracial? That all of the sudden blacks and Hispanics will stop murdering whites? That all of the sudden, black men will stop raping 35,000 white women every year? Read the Color of Crime. Whites get hit with this slavery jive in public schools and universities while we are being massacred on our streets and in our homes. Obama himself is the result of black on white statutory rape. I want a fence dividing me from all perverts and violent criminals, color be damned. Great Society Liberalism drove crime in America up to surreal levels. Reagan brought crime back under control. I imagine that now the combo of unrestricted immigration and Obama will at last shake America awake. We will come to accept and understand the importance of segregation to protect the lives, property, schools, peaceful lifestyles, and political aspirations of white people. Maybe with Obama as president, a viable, popular white nationalism movement will be born.

Obama's redneck mother's family owned slaves.

As long as blacks can milk the slavery issue, and as long as whites still have issues with people because they are black, there will be no post-racial anything in this country. Blacks have had the vote for a long time now, and haven't exercised it until this election because the candidates have always been white. That doesn't mean they have not been represented, and it doesn't mean they have had no say in anything, if they would have stepped up and participated before this election. My family never owned slaves - they didn't even come here until WWI. I reject any responsibility for slavery, just because I happen to be white. Most people alive today abhor the idea of slavery. Many of us have had forebears who suffered injustice here and abroad, and the idea that someone owes us something because of it is ludicrous. Racism will never be over as long as people keep it alive. The only people who are doing that are those who have profited from it - black and white.

In response to BANDAID. You are so right, blacks have voted for white presidents for too damn long, and now that a black man steps on the scene, its a racial issue. You must have forgotten all those teary-eyed white voters who supported and voted for Obama. We're the minority, remember. What you racial, confederate flag waving idiots need to do is stop clogging up the blogs showing your cowardly fears of a black man and get with the program. Evil lies within hogs like you thinking that you own the world, well, guess again. I suggest you take that bandaid and shove it. You didn't bring nothing in and you won't take nothing out. Whose law is that?

This election has been one of the most divisive elections in US History. It has also been one of the most discriminatory elections ever. For the record, there was precious little attention to the issues in this campaign, and that goes for BOTH candidates. This election has been about Mitt Romney's Mormonism, Obama's race AND his religion, McCain age, Hillary and Sarah Palin's sex, Biden and McCain's medical history, and pretty much any other discriminatory issue you could come up with. So, let's see if for what it was, and move on to something better, hopefully.

Is Ney Ney nuts? Look at the cesspool where Obama is going to live. It's called Washington, D.C. By any measure D.C. is a failure. Who runs D.C.?

Mothers unite against Obama! He is trying to force our children into his Marxist civilian army. Hitler did this - they were called the "brown shirts". Read this article and you will be energized to stand up and say "no" to Obama's civilian army forced upon our children: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=80539
