Have you noticed?
I'm not just talking about white people. Black people too. For example some people voted for President Obama JUST because of his skin color. I am EXTREMELY glad he won.
Here's my point, if America doesn't care about skin color, and American people say that skin color doesn't make up a person...why was the media going crazy about "our first black president?"
Shouldn't they go crazy about what a great president he will be? No, they go crazy about his skin color.
So why the big deal? For about 70 years now, black people were just as privilaged as white people, black and white got along well.
Don't say white people are still racist twoards black people, because there are black people that hate white people too.
But back to what I was saying, why was his skin color so important if America isn't suppose to care about skin color?

no doubts about that !
America is basically what you just described, that about sums it up. It was either McCain or Obama. i'm SURE white people voted for McCain just because he's white, they would rather have someone else other than a man with brown skin. and people need to get their facts right, Obama is half black and white, so he's the first biracial president or at least the first brown skinned president. it took america 44 presidential terms to get to this point, so we're obviously have taken a BIG step for America.
I don't know whats wrong with this country, race has been an issue since the birth of the country. its stupid. and they say america is the most dominant country in the world? maybe so, but america isn't mature.
Because, Black people have come so far! White people have always had the upper hand in everything for many many years, white president after white president, and If it was spanish I'm sure it would be the same. Black people still go through alot, there are many whites today who still can't accept that Blacks have just as much rights too. Whites have been racist first, which caused Blacks to have a resent for them. I don't understand how you could ask such a question, their skin color has never been able to reach this level, so you just have to deal with it. For those same 70 years, it has always been a white president, never black, so unless you become black..you really won't understand.

People are still driven by their tribal mentality, what can you do? It's a trait that has served well for our ancestors and will not fade away any time soon.
Media went "crazy" because milestones are important (for some reason). Why did the media go crazy when man first walked on the moon?
Because skin color does matter.
Also you need to think, he is the first black president. Our first president was back in the 1700's and now it is the 2000's and we have our first black president. Almost 300 years, so yes it is big news and people will continue to focus on this.
I have never lived in America, I've only been there as a tourist.
As an European, I have to say America is very old-fashioned and extremely judgemental. One thing I honestly laugh are the religious crazies in your country. I'm talking about the people who go on the street yelling "God hates fags" etc. And the abortion question getting so huge in America is quite a joke as well. This is the opinion of many many Europeans.
I wouldn't want to live in America because of the judgemental and medieval mentality.
It's like the dark ages again!
yes America is a big racist country
between native and immigrants
between black and white
between religions
This isn't news to most Americans....
I bet whites hate me much more than I hate them
