Black lawmakers irked by Obama's diverse Cabinet

The tone of the article is we want more blacks in there. The other minority groups represented are happy campers. The article reminds me of the "you white people are in trouble now" garbage I was hearing a lot right after the election.

At some point people might start to realize Obama isn't about pushing "his people" whatever others might perceive that to be and he's not going to usher in all of his "cronies". That would defeat the purpose of his message about unifying people. He went for a diverse background and looked at experience and knowledge.

Just look at the sentence "Those three departments are going to be run by white men." They put the one sentence out by itself for emphasis. In other words, no white man can effectively run the department? At least Obama doesn't stereotype and discriminate.

Race will be an issue for many years to come. Why, because some people need race as a crutch to justify their own fears or lack of success. Thank God most of us have gone past slavery and manzonar. There are great citizens of all races, why, because they refuse to where the label of being some what less than the norm.

That's what I like so much about Obama. Instead of sitting around blaming everyone else for his humble beginnings he worked his way to where he is. He makes no apologies or excuses. Racism won't go away any time soon but I hope he is able to at least get us started down that path. I'm just so tired of the racist garbage and saddened that the media supports it and keeps it going.

Race will always be an issue, as long as there are people willing to make it one!

Race shouldn't be an issue but it still is. One day we will all look beyound color.
