That is certainly possible too.

Hopefully someday - or at least have the realistic possibility of running for president without the outside being the issue.

Well, Ok, maybe not dressing like you (and I) do now would win the race for them if they were running in said style; but what if it was their history? What if they looked like you and I when they were our age, and mellowed out (but not too much!) -- would that work?
I mean, for all the black and punk rockerish style I have going for me, I still clean up for work (as a teacher) but I never lose my flair.

I agree with you, but the difference is, you can take your piercings and clothes (and even tattoos nowadays) off if you really wanted to, in order to win.

*refrains from commenting on the US, TOO! US, TOO! song that always plays when a mixed group discusses race*

Then what was your point when you brought it up?

*sigh*

Can you please just let us Negros have our moment, just this once, without us having to hear you compare it to oppression based on decisions that you consciously made? Please? Or am I asking too much of you?

Hey, if you say so. I never suggested anything of the sort. But my mother always told me that when somebody tells you who they are, believe them.
