here in the uk we have successful black people but none of them have grown up with a black parent. they grow up with their white moms and most of them have no contact with their dads, e.g. craig david.

I learned something today.

Apparently accusing all Indians of being backwards, darkie-hating, caste-system lovers based on one post by one guy isn’t racist.

Interesting world we live in.

That’s your mistake right there, what does him being good-looking have to do with him deserving the job? Maybe some people didn’t vote against his religion, maybe they thought he wasn’t ‘fair’ enough? Speaking of what an American is, have you seen our new President :-)

It doesn’t have anything to do with how someone governs, but to deny that it has an effect on helping a candidate get elected is pretty naive.

And I’m not sure I buy the argument that people disagreed with Madia on his policies. His positions are extremely similiar to Barack Obama and his county voted overwhelmingly in favor of Obama for President.
