Nah, reparations will never pass. After all, Obama would have to pay...he's half white! LOL
Seriously, I see your point. But on the other hand I have to believe It is in the race baiter's and the race hustlers best interest not to elect a black president. Even as ignorant as their base seems to be, even they would see the hypocrisy. How can the US be racist when we have a black President.
On the flip side, if Obama is elected, every criticism will be called racist. But again in reality how can that be?
I know, I know, we in this country don't deal with honest reality anymore.
I just think there is too much money riding on promoting the idea, for too many people, that this country is racist.
JMHO
