  • We Shall Know The Truth, Good or Bad

    Mrs. Clinton seems to never say but rely on the argument that there are too many bigots in America, therefore Sen. Obama would never win in a race against a white man, therefore, the smart Superdelegates that fall for her line, will see the light, switch from Obama and make her the National Democratic Candidate!!! But, would the Smart ...

  • the color of the race card

    why was ms clinton comment that she was winning the ''white' vote stupid? clearly this will be a racial election, but the ''media'' fails cynically this is the case now. inadvertendly and unintendedly pastor wright polarized and galvanized black voters voting all for mr obama in carolina. i would be suprised is the west virginia vote is not ...

  • Hard Working White Folks/Working Class Whites

    It's so clear to me that Hillary was trying to avoid saying ...''working class whites...'' and in doing so spit out the ''hard working'' characterization. She tripped over her own attack strategy. If she had said what she originally intended, she would have sounded elitist. Like that other guy she's been attacking for weeks. Her words have been ...

  • Re: Grace or Disgrace

    Of course Obama measures up; I simply trust the opinion of the millions who have voted for him. He has a worldwide basis of moral authority vested from day one; this will be needed more and more as we navigate a world where white people are losing power. He is at least just as qualified as Hillary, and certainly appears to have more integrity ...

  • Hillary's Racial Argument Is Unseemly & Incorrect.

    Face it, race is undeniably a factor in a state like Pennsylvania. But the racism is primarily focused in an older slice of the electorate not yet recovered from life long patterns of ignorance. Obama may lose a few defectors, but he will more than make up for it with the formerly disaffected young, progressive, and independent voters, who are ...

  • Arguing Race Is A Detriment Is Unseemly & Misplaced.

    Race is undeniably a factor in a state like Pennsylvania. But the racism is primarily focused in an older slice of the electorate not yet recovered from life long patterns of ignorance. Obama may lose a few defectors, but he will more than make up for it with the formerly disaffected young, progressive, and independent voters, who are the future ...

  • Rush's Violent America

    Anyone hear about this yet? Today, lil' Rushie called for riots in Denver at the Dem convention...all part of his ''Chaos'' scheme. Now, I can't help but think he needs to go back to rehab...Couldn't this be considered hate-speech since he's linking it to Sharpton and inciting the ideology of riots as a liberal American past time of choice? ...

  • Re: Obama Brings the "Whiteness" Out in Some Americans.

    Dear apropos1; Thank you for your perspective. It is valuable and frank and I can tell you are sincere. I would like to ask you to read brownapril's comment above, and consider the vast difference in experience between a white American and a black American, especially those in the age groups of 40 and above. Steven Covey, who I alluded to in ...

  • Re: re Henneberger's latest

    Is ''hurtful'' the worst charge you can make? If we're talking about matters that are this complex, crossing lines of personal identity, economics, and social stratification bringing together different people experiencing different strands of history -- it's going to hurt to tell and hear the truth. 1) My parents are white collar workers who came ...

  • Obama Brings the "Whiteness" Out in Some Americans.

    I teach civil rights and am therefore a little more than typically interested in the racial and gender issues implicated in this year's Democratic nomination process. In my classes, which I have been conducting for about twenty years, sometimes in large cities and sometimes in small towns, I rarely meet a person who publicly speaks in racist ...
