<<who just elected a black president and recently had a black secretary of state and a black national security advisor
<<how many black presidents/PM has Canada elected?>>
Obviously, those who voted for Obama were less racist than those who didn't, which was my point exactly. There are racists and worse racists. Harry Reid and Joe Biden must have voted for Obama, but their racist upbringing resulted in racist remarks. The country is soaked in racism, but some are overcoming it.
I was asked, why didn't I condemn Rather's outburst of racist comment. My answer was, ALL of them are programmed to make racist remarks, so why condemn the good guys (Reid, Biden, Rather) who, although raised in the hate culture of racist America, are nevertheless to be commended for having pulled themselves out of that foul swamp to the point where they're able to support Obama?
Canada hasn't elected a black PM probably because we don't have a lot of blacks here. We did not go out of our way to murder, kidnap and enslave millions of blacks, so we don't have a large black population and the odds of them becoming leader are therefore small.
