1) Race shouldn't matter one way or the other. To say that ones race enables one to receive such an award is racial bias. If you disagree, then I'm sorry that you're unaware of your own prejudice. I am always astounded when I meet whites who (I don't know if you are white) feel that some racial group or another should be given some kind of special privilege based on a notion of "original sin/" To hear that kind of sentiment from an atheist is truly mind boggling.
2) If the American people no longer care about race enough for it to matter in national elections, than that is their victory and achievement, not Ovama's.
3) This may be something that isn't apparent to people outside of the states, but the cultural logos in the United States has actually become more tense regarding race as of late. Racism has effectively been changed from meaning, "Favoring one race over another or belittling people of a certain racial ancestry," to, "Something whites do to non-whites." Basically, in left leaning areas, moderates were being impressed with the idea that if you didn't vote Obama, you were a racist, but nobody said anything when exit polls showed that over 97% of blacks voted for Obama. Racism in this country is by no means over, it has simply been rebranded as "Racial Pride." It's sad really, all forms of racism are simply underground here, but it's okay only to talk about one kind of racism.
OK.

Holy shit, that gave me flashbacks of my buddies back home. Sadly, that is pretty much standard political commentary in Tennessee (the flag on the right is the TN state flag).

"The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement but few can argue with it."
Also, Clunn's assessment of 'what whitey does to non-whitey' is wrong.
There are actually 'target groups' and 'safe groups', and they vary depending on your country.
