From Wikipedia:
Argumentation theory, or argumentation, embraces the arts and sciences of civil debate, dialogue, conversation, and persuasion; studying rules of inference, logic, and procedural rules in both artificial and real world settings.
Excuse me for the low blow on Obama. I wasn't kidding that I hope he can fix things for America. But for argumentation sake, he totally fits the bill. I had never heard of this man untill he ran against Hillary for the Democratic Nomination, and neither had most of us. In my own personal opinion, he won because he was the most attractive option in the election. Democrats had an easy job defeating the GOP after Bush screwed everything up. We didn't need to know anything about Obama, we didn't care that he went to a rascist, seperatist church, or that he had gone largely ignored by the Democratic party up untill that point. I think we were all excited for a change, and we were just as excited to see a black man do it. I know of entire churches from innercities from Arizona to Virginia who went by the bus load to vote him in. Not because he was black, but because he wasn't a old white man. If that doesn't make him the Token Black Guy, then I guess I'm just a douche bag.
Look up Chicago’s Trinity United Church Of Christ and replace all the words 'black' with 'white'. Just fro argumentation of course.
