Let the race wars begin

Barack Obama, the junior United States Senator from Illinois, announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States in Springfield, Illinois, on February 10, 2007. On June 3, 2008, Sen. Barack Obama became the first black candidate to claim a major party’s presidential nomination in U.S. history.

That same week, a male friend of mine got into it with a white boy who called him "the n word", then my girlfriend told me that her guy has a cast on his arm because he broke his wrist on a white boy's face because he called him "the n word." What in "the h word" is going on?

I mean have people really lost their minds? Obama's victory must have gotten a few people riled up and now Black men are under siege and I have a feeling things will only get worse from here. With every good thing there comes two bad things and as happy as I am for Obama's presidential nomination, I fear for his safety and the safety of people that look like him because even though we have the majority vote, we are still the minority.

i too fear for his safety. hopefully he will be able to perform the job that i am hopeful he will be elected to perform.

this black vs white stuff really is getting old, isn't it? especially when we all bleed the same red blood.
Yeah but black vs white is way better than black vs black in my book and you know there is always a battle to be fought somewhere by someone.
