Larry Parker writes: "And, with classic irony, while talk of boxcars to Mexico rages on talk radio, the people who WILL get to see a truly multiracial America (those your and my age and younger, Rod) generally -- generally -- welcome it. Why do you think Barack Obama's campaign is so fueled by young voters?"
Um, because he is a blank slate onto which they (and you) can project your fantasies? African Americans can see an Obama win as a victory over whitey, while young whites like yourself (oh, sorry, forgot your grandmother, who I'm sure thought of herself as full-blooded Cherokee) can simultaneously think an Obama win will cause crime rates, and demands for quotas and set-asides, to plummet, as the entire black community becomes like the Cosby family on TV. Overnight! Just like how the Muslims will suddenly love us because Obama's grandmother lived in a mud shack. That's the power of Change!
