Stop Worrying About the Crowd Noise and Refs

TNC:

Barack Obama doesn't talk about racism's effect on his campaign because it's pointless, and from a competitive standpoint, it's a distraction.

And that is precisely why Barack Obama will be 44. You can't sweat the shit you have no control over. He's running for POTUS and that is the biggest game on the planet. It dwarfs all the small-minded bigots by many orders of magnitude. By being elected he will effect change in a lot of lives. A lot of kids whether they be non-white or from single-parent households are going to see Barack Obama and--maybe, just maybe--believe they can grow up to be somebody. Not all of them. But some of them. That's a pretty good place to start--at the beginning.
