I cant believe that you can make such a sweeping statement about the States, when you have made only one or two trip to visit Disneyland and had a conversation with Micky Mouse.!!
Sure there are racist people in the USA, just as there are racist people everywhere, including the "trnc". Look at the views by the NeoPartitionist which is nothing short of a Fascistic and Racist views towards anyone who does not buy into their Racist and Fascistic ideology, which you are one of them. I can only wish that the amount of progress made by the Americans in Civil Rights for all Americans since the 1950's where Racism, segregation, 2nd class treatment of the blacks with
"seperate but equal" policies can be adopted by the "trnc" and not wish for the return of the 2004 Annan Plan, which had many of the elements of the above, on how the blacks were treated. Under the AP and what you want today, is hardly anything different in wanting for the GC's who may choose to live in the north. You have not progressed at all, but I'm very happy to report to you, that America has changed from the dark days of the 50's and prior going back to the slavery days of the blacks.
"Time does not stand still" which you are having a very hard time understanding that concept. You are the equivalent of the 1950's white American mentality that you carry with you today, that you believe, that the TC's and GC's cannot live together and continue try to poison the minds of others in accepting your twisted ideology. You are
that Racist white American from the 50's who would openly not accept the blacks as being citizens of the USA but an inferior race. This is of course what you accuse the GC's of towards the TC's, but fail to see your own actions at the same time.
No VP, the whites did not just "may have" voted for Obama during the primaries, they actually did, by huge numbers, along with the Latinos. The blacks only represent 10% of the US population, and even then, over 50% never voted before, so Obama's support is 90+ % are non blacks, and the same will be in the General elections. These former slaves have accepted their numerical numbers as being a minority and against all odds, one of them WILL become the next President of the United States of America, all the while you are searching for ways to implement Racist and Fascistic policies in Cyprus for Cypriots. I find that to be very embarrassing in today's times, specially for those who share your views.
Clinton could have also won, despite her "heavy baggage" of not being liked by most Americans. Clinton may have had more favourable policies towards Turkey as did her husband Bill, but I believe Obama will take the country and our foreign policies into a new direction from
"doing business as usual" with countries that does not respect Democracy and Freedom of Speech, and also not allowing
free pass to Fascist leaders, as well as making those countries accountable for their past criminal activities in treatment of other minorities and illegal occupations of others land.

You are wrong VP. If anyone wanted to get Obama, they will want to do it now, where he is much more
"available" then after becoming President. I'm sure there are several nut cases from the
KKK and NeoNazi groups would like to get to him, but it will not happen, because over 90% of the people that will be putting Obama in the White House, will be non blacks.

Americans have become more and more a
"colour blind" society that you think. Gay marriages are more of an issue for the religious Right white Americans than Racial marriages. Middle Americans may be ignorant about the rest of the world, and most have not even ventured outside their own states, but your meeting with
Micky Mouse is also no gauge as to how much you know about Americans in general. What most Americans want and they don't really care too much which President helps them, is to be able to make a living, maintain their life styles, keeping their own family values and religion, and respecting the Constitution of the United States, which George Bush and the NeoCons violated many times in the last 8 years, and we are not going to give McCain the chance to do the same............sorry.!!
America has continually grown and evolved from their past ugly history which they have learned a great deal from. Is it perfect yet??........
NO, but have come a long way at the same time. This is what we the Cypriots can learn from America and how their
Multi Multi Multi ethnic groups have accepted their place in the American society and became part of it and not rejected it, and apart from gaining extra protection for some of the minorities at certain times in the past, the minorities were not given Undemocratic and Racist
"safeguards" over the rest of others, and as a result, Obama can be very proud to have gotten this far on his own, which can only be respected, because he was not given a
"free ride", just because he is a minority.
