I'm not saying that racism isn't prevalent. It is. It's still a huge boogey man that exists a lot more intensely in certain elements of the ountry.

But homophobia is more widespread and more intense.

Though onn the original point, Machina is wrong - to the casual observer, it's a lot more surprising that a black man became President.

To clarify - I expressed surprise at the American Idol guy being runner-up, Seece then said he was more surprised by a black person becoming President. I didn't disagree with him there, other than to say that an openly gay President would be even less likely.

Okay yeah you're definitely right on that one
