Yeah, good point. Isn’t it depressing when politicians try to demagogue what’s essentially an economic issue? I can just picture the heads nodding at MSNBC. I’ll say this for you, champ: You’ve got a lot of nerve.

Watch to the end for some sweet, sweet bonus material on Rev. Wright, whose more radical tendencies The One naturally never ever had an inkling of.

In this case, race itself is the scapegoat.

Did anyone else catch that sentence, speaking of Rev Wright...Obama says he thinks Rev Wright will be the ‘pillar’ that communities will be built on in the future. WOW

What hogwash!

Race relations in America are vastly better than they were even 50 years ago and they continue to improve. Most of us agree with Dr. King that the content of a man’s character should be more important than the color of his skin. (But then, MLK was openly Republican, so we can’t listen to him ... ahem ...)

If you want to see modern race relations in action, just put a bunch of little kids together and watch how they play. There is no “race” on the playground. There never was.

That’s how normal folks think, anyway. No telling what the race-baiters think.
