Is anyone tired of the discussion of racism since Obama won? I mean, come on, we've had white presidents all these years, what is one more? We can deal with it.
Are you arguing with me? Are you trying to figure out what I mean?
Here's another one:
A young man is rushed to the hospital on the west side of town. His father is an ER doctor at the hospital on the east side of town. The ER doc sees the boy and says, "I can't operate on him, he's my son!" How is this possible?
Until we are able to rise above either/or thinking, we will be divided.

I think the racism thing is aggravated by the press. If we didn't see it made an issue all the time on every station and the internet, I think we'd forget about it. Everybody is saying Obama is the first African American President. Well, fact is, the constitution doesn't have a provision for an "African American President." Which makes Obama the 44th President of the US.
Hmm, I don't think I get the hospital one yet, you may have to explain it to me.
the hospital one was originally used as a setup to reveal a gender -ism; it could also now serve to acculturate us to gay marriage...
Ah yes, your hint helped me remember the answer - the 2nd ER doctor is his mother.
Sam's been saying he's thrilled that we finally have a half-white president.
Aha! I was too dense to get the either of them. Now I do.
I think it's a given that the press will belabor any point long past its relevance. We're going to move on eventually and do just fine. Ultimately, the anti-Christ has no race nor gender.
