Someone said I was a racist because I didn't think electing a black president was a big deal.?

What I thought was a big deal is that America elected the right man president regardless of what color his skin is.

That to me shows exactly the opposite of racism.

I'd sure like to hear your views on this.

    No your not racist. Electing a black man for president shouldn't be a big deal even though it is.

    Actually, you're kinda right. Because my 21st century 2008/2009 standards, it should be happening. But, people still know that there was an immense struggle for all people of color and it is one of those things that can't be ignored, because he is the first in 200+ years of us being a country.

    True...I didn't vote for him because of his skin color but most people would assume that did because I'm black.
