Congratulations

I want to congratulate Barack Obama on his victory, and congratulate the American people on electing a black man as president of the United States, and dealing the forces of evil Republican party a substantial setback. These are both Good Things.

Tomorrow we can get down to the messy business of criticizing our new president and Democratic party rule, but for today, I'm just happy.

    America and race, big deal.
    What about Obama's promise to attack Pakistan, this is what we want to know.
    168 Pakistanis been killed in 17 missile strikes, we got terrible civilian casulties from the terrorism these strikes generate- including the Marriot bombing- but many many many other atrcocitys.
    So as ure all clapping each other on the back, u seriously think we're going to allow u to bomb us just cos he's black. Er, that's ure calculation- this is ours, President Obama, u come to Pakistan to kill innocent childrens here's our chant-
    "Black or not black- we shoot back."
    Never ever think we're like Arabs, us Pakistanis is made of steel.

    How little african blood does a man need to have to be black? If a man has a black parent and a white parent, he's still black. This seems odd.....

    Brian, he needs to LOOK black to BE black. People don't inquire into your parentage before they decide whether to be prejudiced against you for your skin color.

    Jeez. How hard is this?

    Yes, Brian, like being black and stuff, i mean, being black it's like X men, even if ure parents is normal, they have a mutant child- ure a X man.
    Now black is like that sort of, i mean, u can't be half white, but u can be black, cos u look black, u can't look half white.
    Now me, i am brown and stuff, i can't really tell i am white- or off white, i am considered like one of the X girls, this is why if i go to some parts of UK, people just look and look and stuff.

Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.

With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.

No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.

See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.

Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.

I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.

Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.

I've already answered some typical comments.

I have jqMath enabled for the blog. If you have a dollar sign (\$) in your comment, put a \\ in front of it: \\\$, unless you want to include a formula in your comment.
