Ballots and Bullets

Overnight, Obama all but won the position as Democratic nominee for the position of President of the United States. I couldn’t be more happy for him. He will most likely win and should do great things for America.
However, I can’t help but feel that America isn’t ready for him. Racism is still a huge issue in the US (and many other countries), and this will effect Obama’s election campaign. Even if he does win, I fear for his life.
It takes many people to vote someone into power. It takes one crazed redneck with a rifle to undo all that. I sure hope nothing happens to Obama, but America has a history of racism which they haven’t quite overcome yet.
Why do I care what happens in the USA? Well, like it or not, they influence the rest of the world. If America is in turmoil, chances are things will go pear-shaped for a lot of other people.
Anyway, ‘that’s all I have to say about that’.
