in response to reader comment: Rough seas ahead

They pity you, just as you pity them. Racism is over, the black man has risen and you are whining like a disgruntled angry mccain rally supporter who blurts, 'terrorist' 'muslim' . Please break through your narrow mindedness and accept the fact that the country has voted for change and a new less racist direciton.
