I never said Obama WAS fighting to gain a victory for a particular ethnicity. the point of the matter still stands that this is the first time EVER that a black man has been elected to run what was once a predominantly white-run superpower. thats what i mean by this event marks a point in history...

You always state your opinions and thoughts so well. X3
Although should we really say that history was made coz a black man was elected? I don't think Obama ever said that his campaign or election was a victory for a particular race or ethnic background. I don't think we should be saying that either. ^.~
And things haven't changed much from when black people were slaves. ^^' Black people used to clean up after white men, and that's what Obama has to do now. XP
^_^ Nice first topic! I like it! For one, I'm a supporter of Obama...unlike some people...but you're totally right! History was made, whether people like him or not. I think it's amazing. It makes me so happy.
It's true...we don't see true history being made very often. :/ Our grandparents etc. probably have, what with the world wars and whatnot, but so far...our generation has nothing but Bush and 9/11. Well, and everything else that came along with his presidency. XD But yes! Yay for Obama! I'm so thankful that it isn't just another old white guy...I wish people would stop being so darn racist.
Nice points. Another topic? How about the one I'm studying in english. Discuss conformity vs rebellion!
