I read an article that the election of Obama was the death knell for racial identity politics. God I hope its true! there has been little, more destructive to humanity than the concept of race. all the genocides in the past century have been caused by this idea. jim crow, affermative action, the naacp, slavery, al sharpton, the janjuweed, the three

All the genocides were cased mostly by economic factors, race and ethnicity were just an excuse to take from the other.

Stupid economics! true. economic factors are at the heart. I'll fix it in my next rant.

Thanks!

I really hope this is the death knell for racial identity politics. However, even Obama said that it is optimistic to think it can be completely transcended in one election. It's close, though, and I'm proud of our country for having come so far in the last 40 years. I just hope he serves our country well and is a kick-ass president.
