Ellen,

I agree that black people still suffer discrimination and having a black
president might not mean anything. However, from reading the post on
this site and the type of responses I've received I see their is nothing
but still alot of prejudice. Too bad people refuse to believe that the
blacks and hispanics will outnumber the whites in the near future.
Makes a person thinks!
