OF COURSE this country is not ready for a black president! Only 12.8% or so of us Americans are BLACK! There are many in the so called "Black" community and in our media who want us to believe they are in greater number but they are one of the smallest minorities, like asians and (sadly) native americans.The idea that a minority in ANY country could possibly represent the majority of that country is simply unfounded and fallacious. Talk about misrepresentation! Most Americans are so called "white", coming to this country from all over the world, but especially European countries. Of these "whites," most are actually women, which outnumber men throughout the world. YOU WANT REPRESENTATION for most Americans? The largest specific gender and "racial" group would therefore be WHITE WOMEN. Get a clue, people. All this talk of Obama being the face of America is simple subversive Black-Supremist propaganda. Don't buy it.
