Of course. Obama will get elected, the globe will experience instantaneous collective understanding and empathy. We’ll all declare ourselves black, link arms and banish racism slothm envy, greed, etc etc etc. Then the next election cycle we can elect someone of Latin decent and repeat the process until each and every self identified sub group of the human species feels fully fulfilled and empowered or what ever and it will be just neat.

I don’t understand the desire to identify as a “People” of some kind and try to find self worth in some mythical image a politician presents? How about people just being proud of themselves and their fricking family for fucks sakes?
