well, first I'd like to say that the above characterization of the black community in America is incredibly insulting. News Flash!!! Not all black people are drug dealers. Shocking, I know - but true. You're right - the adoption of Snoop Dogg (and I have to admit his live stuff with the full band behind him is pretty impressive stuff) for a 25 year old unemployed black man might not be the best choice. Here's the thing. The choice of Kirk Hammett for a 25 year old unemployed white dude isn't a great choice either. Or flip the races - idolizing fuck ups in popular media isn't a smart thing to do.
Second - I reject the notion that this presidential election was primarily about race. It completely takes one aspect and puts it in a vacuum, and throws out the differences in the candidates' positions and the frustration of the American public with the Republican administration for the past 8 years. I also find that to be insulting as a white guy who voted for the "black" guy.
