Rep Power: 65 | | | If only George W.Bush had been Black
It is sort of tragic and ironic that a man who has the potential to be a great president is Black. Being black in America is not a good thing, first slaves, then hung, then kicked out of voting, denied equal education, etc etc, then allowed some rights, then told they have too many rights. Then low and behold they become elitists? Talk about upward mobility. What a screwed up man man is. Only the American Indians have had it as tough and they lost all tradition and were pretty much destroyed.
The 'race card' is another distraction, if Obama were white with a name like Robert Neutral he'd be a shoe in but those people with those weird glasses who can't see past their own prejudices see only so far.
And does anyone talk about John McCain's race? Everyone knows the horrors the white race has perpetuated on the world. Most dictators, mass murderers, robber barons, and other assorted crazies are white. Another white man! OMG |

Remember, it was the Republicans who supported Clarence Thomas and Colin Powell. Colin Powell would have already run for president if his wife hadn't opted out for him.

Obama needs to speak up about it, he has done so and done it well so far. Consider how Kerry thought he was being magnanimous in his candidacy, it didn't get him very far. They created his image for him. It is why image needs to be countered immediately. While the democrats need to focus on the economy, the republicans will make the race about Obama. They will not focus on issues but on Obama. Dave Johnson: John McCain 2000: The Swiftboaters' First Mission |

But if you've got anything concrete, I'd appreciate a link to it.

I don't care that Obama's black. I care that Obama's a racist.

I don't remember that happening to any other race, ever in the history of the world.
Sorry.
