Very good article, even though I would not agree with everything he says. But this paragraph is, IMHO, a key to understanding what is really going on:
An uninformed Times Op-Ed writer, a CMD, said that Obama had gotten farther toward the nomination than any other black. Not true. When Jesse Jackson won the Michigan primary, there was an eruption of panic among the party elite. Ben Wattenberg and others were brought in to smear Jackson with the charge of Anti-Semitism and out of this emergency arose the white conservative wing of the party, The Democratic Leadership Council, whose founder, Al From, still brags about how he put black people in their place. Clinton was the DLC's candidate for president.
What we are witnessing is on the level of Rosa Parks. Except it is not white culture at large that is being skewered. It is the institutional (plantation) racism of the Democrat Party. Obama is a viable candidate and the black community has decided not to simply shut up and deliver a voting bloc en masse to the massahs in the party.
They have decided that they will sit anywhere they damn well please on the Democrat Party bus. And that includes right up front.
I would not vote for either Obama or Clinton in the general election, but I can only wish him well in the quest to reveal the racial hypocrisy of the Dems.

Excellent post!. Your comment in quotes reminds me humorously of something Dean Martin said about Sammy DAvis Jr.
Frank Sinatra said something about Sammy Davis Jr. sitting at the back of the bus.
Dean Martin said, “Hell, he owned the bus!” :`)

I should I also point out that The Klu Klux Klan was created by the democrats for the express reason of terrorizing blacks and republicans in the south to prevent them from voting, and that every known Klansman that were members of congress have been democrats.
