“My sadness is that we are probably today more race and difference-conscious that I was in the 1960s when I went to school,” he said, the Daily Mail reported. “To my knowledge, I was the first black kid in Savannah, Georgia, to go to a white school.

I remember during the OJ Simpson trial there was talk that the women on the jury acquitted Simpson because he killed a white woman. Nicole Brown Simpson had taken OJ off of the market and removed a black sister's opportunity. Jury nullification entrenched in race.
But I also remember people talking about race and income. The magic line was six figures. If a black person made that much money their race because invisible.
That is such a bizarre concept to me.
When people look at Obama and Thomas do they see their race or their accomplishments?
I see hard work and success when I look at Thomas. With Obama I see entitlement and rage.
They aren't equals. Thomas surpasses Obama in my book.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
"If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013
