A caller into Cspan was racist. She outright said she didn't think ANY of us should vote for a "black muslim!" I'll bet she was terrified of Malcolm X back when.

The new generations coming up in this country are colour-blind, literally, when it comes to skin tone. My daughters have neither one made any references to skin colour even though one has twins who are biracial. I was watching a snippet of MLKJr. giving his speech on tv yesterday and crying. When Morgan asked me why I was sad, I told him way back when some people believed black people didn't have any rights as white people. His comment was to look at MLKJr. and say, "Oh! He IS black!" Bless his heart, he has never ever known that as a factor and I can only hope he forgets and forgives me for even mentioning it, at least at his tender age.
