I guess you missed the post where I stated that I'm an African-American who has lived the first 32 years of my life in the US of A. So I quite familiar with what's going on in America.
The attitude of not wanting Obama to run because you think harm is going to come is one of the worst rationalizations I've ever heard. What if MLK Jr, Malcolm X and RFK gave up because they were too afraid? Where would we be? We can't let the sociopaths determine the future. What if Rosa Parks was too afraid to get on that bus? There will most likely be an attempt on Obama's life. Hell, there was an attempt on Reagan's and he didn't have any of this stuff Obama is getting. I'm just hoping the Secret Service do their job and Obama gets very lucky. Bravery must triumph over fear. Repeat that until you believe it.
