    @bringback

    Thanks isn't due to me, but to X's own words which I'm glad you've posted. I was born during that hotbed, and I'm happy to say the heat has cooled, but not the hurt on both sides, it still sorta smolders. But believe it, we're getting past the after radiation effects more rationally every day. And Obama's hope or no, that's my hope, and I think everybody else's...ya know? But I do agree with one thing that people should take note of...don't bandy about the label racist unless its really there. And most times you know when its there there, so have always a care.
