weird. very weird. I think there are still a lot of white people out there that think they have to prove themselves. "Hey, I'm with it, I voted for Obama, so now there's no way I could be racist.....right?" and they feel the need to be part of the moment or something. It's also the fact that a lot of white people just worry so much about saying the wrong thing all the time that they are self-conscious and say stupid crap like congratulations! I'm sure they mean well, but I don't think they realize how weird it is. Or maybe they just think you are the all powerful fredericks and you helped Obama win with your l88t ninja-like skills so they want to covertly congratulate you?
