we already had the civil war, black rights, and women rights movements, i'm pretty sure that was the entire point of them- to desegregate. i totally agree that brainwashing or "tradition" plagues this country, but like someone else said or others have said, if bush can run (....er, try to) this country, why couldn't someone other than a white, 40-60 year old who went to yale, princeton, or harvard- man, do it? it hasn't worked out great in the recent past and maybe someone else with a perspective on the opposite side of the spectrum (not war) work?
keeping people "in their place"- where are from Arkansas? geeesh! time's have changed...CEO's and other high ranking individuals are women, miniority men, and EVEN minority women!
just playin devils advocate, i really try to keep my political views to myself b/c there's flaws with everything.
