Omaba mania

Inauguration day! Hooray!  I’m sick to death about the endless coverage of this “monumental” , “historic” event!  What’s so historic about it?  The fact that a man’s being celebrated for his skin color?  I mean this reeks of racism.  Why can’t Obama, just like any other man, be sworn in without all the swooning,  fulsome, maniacal and hysterical behavior?  Oh, because he’s a black man!  Way to go onto becoming colorblind America!

If America was really past race and color then this would be just another ordinary event, another ordinary Presidential Inauguration.  But America is NOT past color at all.  This mania is an overcompensation for the racism that’s clearly still there.
