I'm A Stranger In A Strange Land



AFL-CIO Secretary Treasurer Richard Trumka on Obama and racism. Listen to his obvious ire. I can relate. I didn't want to believe there were that many people who wouldn't vote for Obama based on his race, but this election has opened my eyes to some really disturbing facts.

Pardon me if I don't feel proud of a land that holds onto it's hatred for black people, even though slavery was abolished in 1865. How can 'we' say we're the greatest country in the world if 'we' haven't worked out the whole separate but equal thing yet? There's nothing great about hatred based on tight-minded, archaic opinions.
