Rascism is not Dead

Rascism in America is not done with.

You see, the whole point of MLK was that we ALL be treated equal, right?

White, black. Man, woman. Disabled, Enabled.

Equality for all.

However, when we celebrate the elevation of one race to a platform, we are still being rascist. We have still made a big deal about something that we want to be treated as inconsequential.

So which is it...do we make a big deal about skin color or not?

Do we celebrate a president based on skin color or not?

A couple of intemperate thoughts:

The fact that white people voted for a black man to be president is evidence that they're not racist, right? Right??

By that standard, I'll go further and say that the black folks who voted for a black man 9-1 to be president are the real racists.

To top it off...

The main article in the current issue of Linux Magazine:

"Is Obama good for Open Source?"

There is a eery resemblance to individual worship of Mao and Stalin
