If the colour of your skin doesn't matter.........

.................................why is all the fuss being made about the 1st black president?

Whilst we're at it, same goes for Tiger Woods, Lewis Hamilton and Paul Ince; I thought colour didn't matter?

When Ince was made Manager, it was a big thing that he was the 1st black (English) manager. Would the 1st manager to beat Blackburn be allowed to get away with saying "I've beaten the 1st black Manager"?

No.

And why is the MOBO awards allowed to happen every year without comment? Can you imagine having the MOWO awards?

I can't help thinking that highlighting the colour of the mans skin detracts somewhat from the actual achievement.

I don't think that Paul ince got the Blackburn job because he was black, I don't think that Lewis Hamilton won because he was black, I don't think Tiger wins because he is black, so why bring it up at all?

I have heard people (presumably black) on the radio today, gloating "we did it" and "black uprising" etc etc

I had honestly not even thought about it until today.
