Isn't that a bit patronizing? It doesn't matter if he sucks at his job, because being black and doing it is accomplishment enough? I know this is what some people actually believe, but it just sounds racist to me.
- Kylekramer 13y agoIf you put it in those terms, yes. But you are the one who put it in those terms. No one said a black president has lower standards for the job, they said it was notable that a person from a community who has been historically marginalized by American society reached the highest office in the country by winning a majority vote.
- flexie 13y agoNo, it's the opposite of racist. I am saying that it is such an acomplishment to be voted president of the US as an African American and that it will inspire other African Americans irrespective of how he actually performs. On a side note: You should't accuse people of racism or other terrible character traits unless you are sure about it.
