This is said with a bit of jest and a bit of truth...

...If a white rapper can win an award as the best rapper alive, (www.freep.com/article/20081007/ENT04/81007079/1035/ENT)

...is it that hard to imagine a black man as the President of the United States?

Thoughts?

Race is merely a social construct; an attempt to pigeonhole people into their own little categories so we can play us against ourselves.

  Oh I agree...I dont think race is a prequalifier or disqualifier...however, some people do.

hmm.. Could this possibly mean America is colorblind? Perhaps..But unlikely.. Hopefully the folks who voted Eminen best rapper alive will be voting for Obama..
