Forefectivegovernent: I feel in your comment a fear of black uprising. Reinforced by the fact that you would reference O.J. Simpson to somehow associate him with Barack Obama. A black bogeyman, if you will.
Perhaps you should get yourself a copy of The Classic Slave Narratives, edited by Henry Gates, Jr. and especially read the story by Frederick Douglass. Perhaps then you will stop fearing blacks as "upstarts" and start feeling the common humanity we all share. What's intimidating is injustice. What's intimidating is religious bs that belies true spirituality. What's intimidating is thinking the first black candidate got where he is because of threats to the whites. That, I feel, is the ugly undercurrent. The intimidation you speak of is coming from within your own fearful heart. Don't project. posted 07/15/2008 at 21:40:57
