[ExI] POST-SCARCITY SYMBOLS Launched

[giovanni santostasi]

To me is crazy that we are making this a big issue in 2010. Why the color matter? I know it does because historical reasons but it is not absurd that we are still looking at the race of a president as something that mattered? This shows how backwards we are. Now what about the sex of the president? In which year are we going to comment on the fact we achieved something great because  the president is a woman?

You gotta be kidding.  The man went to Harvard.  People come out of
Harvard white no matter what color they might have had when they went
in.

PS :-)

PPS Obama is technically mixed race, not black.
