Sorry Dick...I didn't mean to infer that you were prejudiced against Obama's colour, or race in general.
What I meant was, it must be difficult living in a country with so many racists in the population.
I certainly would find it hard to vote for either party given, their historical and contemporary attitude to race.

It appears that they both pay lip service to racial equality by the use of "tokens",(Miss Rice...Mr Obama) while remaining deeply racist at the party core.
I have read that the Democratic Party are especially bad in this respect, condoning a large racist element in their Southern support.
