Let's start a write in campaign for your dog, Lizzie. Next, about Oboma and racism - true there are lots of people who will not vote for him because he's black or African-American - whatever - personaly, if I heard everything I've heard without ever knowing his color, I would not vote for him. Something is just not right there -
re: hearing the N word - yep, you hear it a lot up north. I;'ve lived in La and NJ - both seemed to use the n word equally. The south doesn't have a lock on racism. Back to the African-American label -- if he calls himself that he will lose a lot of votes - IMO few people understand why they choose to label themselves as such. They're no more african than I am german/english/irish/swedish. Agn, IMHO there's no reason to call themselves African. And to a lot of people it is divisive - they're either Americans or they're not.
