I never once thought that having a black president to be a bad thing. I think he should have very carefully responded so as not to feed the disdain of people who are ignorant. He is black. I thought it would have been much more diplomatic and it would be much better to have avoided saying anything that could be construed as racial about the verdict.
There are some that just plain thoroughly dislike me on this forum, even though they have never met me and really know very little about the person that is me.... and those people would take my words as mean spirited no matter how I said them. And to be honest, I feel a little mean spirited today. But Barack Obama's race has never once entered into my opinion of him until he sided with what seems to being made into a racial controversy. We should all try to look at this color blind.
