I don't see why you're "troubled". Truth is that thru media feed, it gets almost impossible to see beyond skin color. History, of course, and maybe that's what troubles me-it should be a matter of course, not a prominent factor. *shrug* Oh well, sometimes I have to hear it being said before I realize someone is black, so to me this isn't as big a deal as it's being made, but I get it.
When Carter was elected, he was because no one wanted anything to do with the Nixon years, so we "wiped the slate clean". Man, did that GA. boy fuck up...and when he did, it was blamed on his "peanut farmer" background, his inexperience, his roots.
Time will tell if we're repeating ourselves now.
