Yes, it would vanish immediately if Obama was white.denverdoc said:no Obama is no Jack Kennedy, he might be a lot smarter. But I understand the comparison, he is no PT-109 movie hero or author, and JFK had an astounding ability to talk fast and forcefully. and charisma up the wazoo. My guess if he were white this discussion would vanish.
Let's face reality. Racism is alive and well in the US. Why do you think that Republicans talk about school vouchers before every election? It's not to allow poor urban black children to attend better schools - the fact is that if inner-city schools are failing, they need to be improved. There is simply not enough "slop" (classroom space, teachers, resources, transportation) built into the current system to allow wholesale movements of students from failing schools to better ones. The "school voucher" idea is a sop to those white southerners who send their children to all-white "Christian academies" - a sign that the candidate would earmark taxpayer money to help perpetuate existing segregation.
