This is weird. I though once The One was elected that all racism would just disappear overnight, and that this was the moment "the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal"
However, the problem with messianic intentions and utopian visions is that quite often "real" (or dare I say it 'objective') reality intrudes, and human natures reveals itself to be what it has always been...messy, nasty and well, plain self-interested.
To whit, here's a story about Gay activists calling black protesters the "n-word" about the protests on California's Prop 8, a bill allowing same-sex marriage.
Not that this has anything to with The Chosen One however this is only 2 days after the US elected the first black man as president, and "everyone" (at least that's what the media shows) has been wallowing in sheer orgiastic extasy over the end of bushhitler, racism and the bogeyman.
Oh well, I guess humans will be humans....
