I believe in absolute equality of all races, all of the time. I don't understand why that is such a hard pill to swallow. I have never owned slaves, and I don't know anybody who owns slaves or ever has. Slavery sucked, but it happened a long time ago and not to anybody living today.
When I see a black person, I don't see a color. I see a human being that bleeds red, just like I do. I'm forced to see a black person's color because a lot of people make it a huge issue.
It's a never-ending cycle. If you don't like giving a racial group certain privileges, you're labeled as a racist. If you like giving a racial group certain privileges, you're encouraging more and more importance to be placed on a genetic trait that means nothing.
I don't care that our President-elect is black, just like I don't care that he's Christian, has two kids, or likes to play basketball. All that should matter is whether he can do the job.
