Pan, I read all your posts twice to make sure that I didn't miss anything. I keep coming back to the idea that you WANT to see this as an issue, so you're trying to make it one.
This strikes me as being very similar to the Papist arguments against Kennedy in 1960. As far as Obama goes, who cares what his minister says or doesn't say. Obama hasn't encorporated any of those ideas into his platforms.
Pan, Africa is FULL of people that don't have black skin. Ask the Egyptians, the South Africans, the Lybians or the Tunisians. It's also a unique continenent in that there's only 1 "developed" nation (South Africa), and the rest is a mess. I don't see anything wrong with wanting to help that kind of situation.
And everything MixedMedia said lines up quite nicely with my ideas as well.
