Barack Obama - How Far Have We Really Come?

Watching and hearing to the comments that followed the United States elections I was saddened by how much of it centered on Barack Obama's race and religion, and the self-congratulations of electing an Afro-American as the adjacent President of the United States of America.

There were eternal comments on St Martin Martin Luther King, the civil motion and the Jack Kennedy Brothers. Re-hash after re-hash of how great it was that the good old United States could now elect a achromatic President. There were also eternal gags about the White Person Person House now being the Black and White House.

Has the United States really come up so far? If we have got really come up so far why is the race and heritage of Barack Obama of such as interest? There was even advert that an intelligent achromatic President was better than a stupid achromatic President. That line of argument went along the lines that a calcium hydroxide greenness Martian with two caputs could have got got won against anyone from the same political party as Saint George Bush.

The 1 thing that was rarely mentioned was Barak Obama's undeniable ability.

Rather than the end of dogmatism the election of Barack Obama could have been because of bigotry. It was inevitable that once Afro-Americans managed to have got vote as their right on the same footing as achromatic Americans a clip would come up when there were Afro-American electors would outnumber White voters.

At least concerted with other non White groupings they would be the majority. Maybe this clip the non-white ballot out numbered the achromatic vote and Barack Obama won. We could now be entering a phase where the victor of future Presidential elections depends on the relative engagement of ethnical groupings.

We also have got grouping that young person tended to prefer Obama, women tended to prefer Obama and aged achromatic males tended towards McCain. Bashes that average that pandering to the peculiar bias of peculiar groups is the manner to win elections?

The manner to make this would be to work out mirage policies for each grouping whilst ensuring that the policies designed for one grouping did not disquieted the other, even if there was no purpose of following through with the policies. That is provided that the peculiar grouping mattered.

But this is the manner it have always been. Afro-Americans never used to count and as a consequence they got nothing. But now they do. The more than than things alteration the more they remain the same.

Barack Obama probably won the United States Presidential election because on this juncture blackness bias won over achromatic prejudice. It is only a Numbers game. How far have got we really come?
