Pardon me for a moment...
So Dr. King's dream has been realized because Obama's been elected president? (I heard someone on TV say that today.) I thought King's dream was that we would be judged not by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character.
Anyone who believes that Obama would have been elected if he had been white, with the same policy positions, voting record, "eloquence", etc, are smoking something.
Sigh. This is really the only place I can vent this stuff. As you were.

What got me is how people kept on harping on how historic it was. And that annoyed me.
I had been indoctrinated since age 4 to deny that there's a difference. No difference. It may be wrong to even acknowledge it.
Then, all of a sudden, I was supposed to acknowledge it like it meant something, when all my life I was told that race meant nothing.

Precisely. I always thought that our goal was a colorblind society. And as Justice Roberts said recently, the best way to stop discriminating on the basis of race is... to stop discriminating on the basis of race.
But that appears to no longer be the goal. So what's taken its place? Anyone? Anyone? Can we at least state it, so it can be argued for or against?
I'm actually amazed that you can tolerate the standard media outlets.
Seriously... I just don't have the stomach for it anymore. Nearly everything is framed from a biased context, and that just bugs the heck out'a me.
But to answer your question, (and this brings me back to some years ago), we are being trained to be pro-white-guilt. Guilty over the environment; guilty over poverty; guilty over terrorism; guilty over Africa; guilty over the Palestinians; etc, etc, ...
