...usually folks who claim they weren't being "racist," are fully aware of the "racist" quality of their remarks. The funny thing about racists is that they know they are.

I don't have any hesitation in calling Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill racists. No, they don't wear pointy hoods and burn crosses in people's yards -- as far as I know... I mean I don't think there is any basis to believe that, unless there is. But Bill and Hillary -- after spending their "formative years" (Bill) and impressionable adulthood (Bill and Hillary) in Little Rock, Arkansas (that bastion of racial harmony) know the politics of racism. They know how to play both sides of the fence: they will claim an affinity with black people to get their votes. Behind closed doors they reassure their white supporters that "nothing has or ever will change."

Hillary has been trying to say that Barack can't win white votes. However, the key constituency she has needed to be able to win -- she's LOST 31 contests with varying percentages of black voters and OVERWHELMING majorities of white voters -- are black voters. What happened? She and her "black husband" Bill were supposed to be so comfortable with us black folk.

This has little to do with working, hard-working Americans, BLACK Americans voting as a bloc, just voting blindly to support the black guy. This has to do with the fundamental understanding of who the Clintons are. Black Americans are always wary of white politicians -- of either party -- who promise loads and deliver little, The Clintons are no different. And when they started using coded language at the beginning of this race to describe Barack Obama, we took notice.

John Dickerson should have noticed right around April 19 -- when just about every blog (like HuffPo) trumpeted Hillary saying, "He Can't Win!" Hence George Stephanopolous asking her directly "Can Barack Obama beat John McCain?" Her answer? "Yes, Yes, Yes, BUT...!!!!"

What Hillary said the other day was not caused by "sleep deprivation". She didn't get any 3 a.m. phone call unless it came from David Duke. She knew -- knows -- exactly the message she wanted to deliver: If you don't want to vote for the black guy, and don't want to be called a racist, just say it's because you think OTHER AMERICANS are racists and will not vote for him 6 months from now because -- "Did you know? He's BLACK!!!! So if the Dems lose, don't blame me... I told you... He can't win... He can't win BECAUSE HE'S BLACK!!!!"
