NO SUNSHINE Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I don't see how this is going to change anything for black people in the USA? Are kids from Harlem now suddenly all become doctors and politicians?It shows you can achieve anything, if you are born in the right area and go to the right schools and universities.

bladerunner Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 its not just going to change things for black people in the USA, its going to change things for people all over the world.and if u cant see it, you're ignorantIt's not going to change anything for those who don't want to change themselves. It will just make it seem more normal for a black man to be in a position of power. But it also intensifies the pressure i.e. if he doesn't perform we won't see another black president for many a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I don't personally see how it makes a difference. And lol at thinking it's impossible for a white person to understand this, you're a f*ck*ng moron tbh. When Kennedy became president it was even more of a thing for Irish Catholics than Obama being president is for black people. Huge amounts of people in Ireland (including my family) still have pictures of Kennedy in their living rooms etc. But, let me guess, it doesn't compare to the black struggle?A change in attitude still isn't convincing me of much tbh. But we'll see innit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the majority of the world are idiots who have chosen to make race an issue for centuries. If black people were accepted in the first place then this wouldn't be such a HUGE deal.
