Buzz,
Point taken. My posts were from what I have seen from my view. I am a white man married to a black woman whose family was really excited that a black man made it to the top. Several began their own looks into his past in an honest effort to understand how he made the achievements he made and try to find a way to teach that to their children so they could succeed better in life than they did. A good portion of her family lives in the ghetto in Kansas City. They quickly found that he did not grow up in the ghetto and suddenly felt that they could learn nothing and gave up. I have seen a multitude of people do this in her family and their friends. I know that is a limited view, but that is where my post came from. I was not meaning to infer that he should apologize for the way he looks. No one should ever have to apologize for their herritige or looks. I was simply stating what I have seen transpired. Sorry for any confusion on my intent.
