And what of the whites that voted for McCain because they didn't want a black man as president? Playing the race card goes both ways.
It kind of seemed to me that you implied that Grace and I voted based on race after we made the historic remarks.

Please belive me when I say it... Race has ZERO do do with my choices in life. Z...E...R...O. The FINEST human being I ever knew just happened to be a black guy. My platoon sergeant from my Somalia deployment.
So please, pretty please, do not misunderstand me on this...
Race only matters to make it historic. Once blacks were slaves. Now we have a black president.Quote:

She is not happy. Many aren't. It wont change a thing...
It should not matter in the friendship...
I just hope nobody shoots the man before he gets a chance to be president. I sure believe there's thousands of extremists willing to take that job. As I watched him give his speech all I could think was to get the man some bullet-proof glass panels around him at all times.
Word.
A couple of my coworkers are going to be estatic in the morning, a couple wont care, Ill be unhappy. Jim wouldnt be happy either but he would concede.
It looks like prop 8 has passed :( Well popcornbird can rest assured that gay people will be gay no longer:p
Alaskan voters defined marriage as one man one woman with a constitutional amendment back in 1998.
*snarl* I'm so glad I'm leaving this state
I am overwhelmed with emotion today.
