I have a question.

I think it does matter, but it shouldn't. Not one person is going to admit their opinion of Obama has anything to do with his skin color, but I guarantee you it does for some people whether they admit it or not. I'm not referring specifically to people on the box, but people in general.

Okay...but why does skin color matter at all. In everyday life?

If you are asking this question, you also need to be answering it.

(Thanks for deleting my double post, Traci. I was literally doing the same thing when you were, but it takes about 5 minutes to do it on my phone, LOL)

The president's skin color doesn't matter one bit. There will ALWAYS be people who want to kill their country's (or state, or tribe, or whatever arbitrary grouping term you wanna use) leader.

Skin color plays a part in today's society because some people out there keep insisting that it does.

Skin color does not matter to me nor do I believe it matters to the majority of people. The issue I have is when people constantly remind you what their skin color is. For example, Quanell X.

I think this man is hurting the black community more than he is helping. And I'm tired of people using their skin color as an excuse when something doesn't go their way or they don't get what they want. It's always a small group that ruins things for the majority.

PLEASE let me the first to answer this. Yes, there are racist people out there, but the sentiment from the right would be NO different if it were Gore, Hillary, or Kerry in office right now.

Why is a person skin color a factor?

I see and hear alot about our President. How people want to kill him. How this and that. But, I sit back and wonder what would be said if his skin color contain less pigmentation.


I used to wonder how people see me being who I am in this hobby. Honestly, when I see others I see a person and not a skin color. Really everyone is somewhat lucent to me. The positive you are the more lucent you become. Negative then you will fade out.

So really why does skin color plays part in today society? And don't pussy foot around the question either. Your answer will not make me feel any different from you because I already know how most really feel)
