Feminist said..."Obama, unlike Clinton, has never made reference to his race."

NOT TRUE: Quotes from Barack Obama''s book, Dreams Of My Father:
" I found A SOLACE in nursing A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER''S RACE".
"The emotion between the races could never be pure..... the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart."
"I ceased to advertise my mother''s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites"
"never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn''t speak to my own. It was into my father''s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I''d packed all the attributes I sought in myself..".
"That hate hadn''t gone away," he wrote, blaming "white people %u2014 some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives."
"There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs," he wrote. "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names"
"I had grown accustomed, everywhere, to suspicions between the races."

blondchic....I fear that its already starting. Our neighbor had their tires slashed and the husband is convinced it was because they had a Hillary sticker on their car. Still I am not willing to allow this man to take office out of fear of what might happen if we don''t. So much of this could have been avoided or at least not allowed to create such diversity if the media and individual voters had done their homework in the first place. So many new voters jumped on the bandwagon which was a good thing but not if they weren''t willing to accept the full responsibility of understanding the value their vote had on the outcome. Some - not all were lazy - they were willing to go to rallies and do the fun part of being involved in the electorate but they weren''t willing to do the research. Its not too late I pray but it will take individuals getting the word out rather than relying on just the media to do the job. We truly need Democrats to take the reigns - in the office of the Presidency and in Congress. She''s never abandoned the people - ALL the people. God willing they will now see the wisdom of rallying around here. Vote HILLARY!!

Hey, Hey. I''m another Obama supporter who will vote for McCain, if HELL-ARY steals the nomination. And I will urge any, and everybody I know, who supported Obama, to do the same. And I''ve been a Clinton supporter, since FOREVER!!!

[sosoe-2009]

Nobody has to play the race card. As we have seen in BOTH campaigns, and on this blog,racism is STILL alive and well in America.

Blondchic,

It makes me embarassed, as a white blonde woman that you feel the need to identify yourself as blond, so we know for sure your race.

Obama, unlike Clinton, has never made reference to his race. He didn''t plant phony hecklers in his crowds to "prove" that he is being judged differently because he''s not the average white guy who runs for and wins the American presidency.

I am an Obama supporter, and I will not riot if he is denied the nomination having won the race in both delegates and popular vote.

I will simply vote for McCain, an honorable man.

TOO MANY RACIST & RACE BAITERS IN THE MEDIA!

ALWAYS STOKING THE FIRES OF DIVISIVENESS & NEVER OFFERING SOLUTIONS!

[agnim]

"Schieffer asked, if Obama were denied the nomination by the superdelegates despite his current lead in pledged delegates, "do you think black voters will stay home?" "

Why is it that there are so many racists in th media? Always stoking one kind of polarization or another?

Why not as WOULD WHITE VOTERS STAY AWAY FROM DEMS IF HILARY IS NOT GIVEN THE NOMINATION; because she isn''t likely to win pledge delegates.

Why ALWAYS targeting the Black people, as if to suggest that racism did not begin with whites and IS BEING MAINTAINED IN AMERICA by the white majority!

And that racism has been stoked by the the racist Clintons ever since she was trounced in Iowa, which was never the media''s fault but that of her shoddy, wasteful and inefficient campaign.

LET''S CEASE THE POLARIZATION OF AMERICA along race, gender, ideological lines; or America''s pressing problems will smother us!

How can the Democrats unify as long as the Obama campaign keeps playing the race card? Who wants to walk on eggshells for the next 4 years and be afraid to criticize the president at the risk of being called a racist? I think Obama''s 20-years in a divisive church has created that same division in the democratic party.

[blondchic]

It doesn''t matter what happens even if Hillary rewins Florida and Wisconsin, if Obama loses his church and his "people" will riot in the streets. It will be LA all over gain.
