What is it with leftists and their fixation on race?

"Blacks who have run for governor in recent years got less than 35 percent of the vote. It may be that they were too liberal, but it may also be that the state remains resistant to a black governor."

The New York Times simply cannot conceive of voting against a black because he is "too liberal". Therefore, it must be "racism".

Was the Times "racist", I wonder, to dump Carl McCall in the New York State gubernatorial campaign? Simply because some white folks, the Clintons, asked them to...???

There is more insidious racism in this one piece from the New York Times than I've seen on any Free Republic thread, ever.

This article is the most disgusting example of the embedded ideological racism in the Left's dogma. A minority is not really a minority unless black people vote for him; a person is effectively white unless liberals love him, no matter his ethnicity; any racial group that does better academically and professionally than blacks doesn't count when the minority-nose counters and race baiters decide.

Awful.

Other than snotty, racist, politically bigoted, and demeaning to Indians and blacks, there's nothing wrong with this piece of tripe from the New York Times.

If Bobby Jindal wins in Louisiana, he will have done it the "old-fashioned way," he will "earn it." What really frosts the Times is the idea that yet another Republican might win for Governor, against the views and prejudices of the Democrats and the editors/writers of the Times. This is a hit piece -- exceptionally subtle, but a hit piece all the same.

If the Republican Party really wants to be inclusive, in Louisiana and nationally, it needs to start finding nonwhite candidates that nonwhites want to vote for.

Here's a novel idea for the bigoted author of this piece: How about running candidates who are qualified individuals with no regard to their skin color!

Bobby Jindal.

Don't you just love that this jerk uses a 1927 SC case to make the point that ALL WHITE SOUTHERNERS are racists?
Nevertheless, this is a good sign, It shows for sure that the denial curtain is still hanging between the left and reality. With conditions like this, 04 will be lots of fun!

This really -is- one of the most bigoted pieces of journalism I've ever read. It is apalling. If a conservative acted even 1/10th this condescending or racist, he'd be crucified. I'd be a national scandal.

Wow. They are outing themselves in a big way now. I won't be surprised if blacks and other minorities start switching allegiances in a big way in the next 20-30 years.

Pretzel logic.

First, it's the white people's fault that non-whites are not elected as governors.

Then when a non-white is about to be elected as governor with white voters' support,

If the Republican Party really wants to be inclusive, in Louisiana and nationally, it needs to start finding nonwhite candidates that nonwhites want to vote for.

I get a headache trying to make some sense out of this

The liberals believe the minority vote is a copyright of the RATS.

>>Asian-Americans now fall on the white side of the racial divide.

Too much! Such a condescending jerk. Not dark enough.....A swarthy shade of darkie....

At least Indians won't call Jindal a coconut.

Dems don't like it when swarthies stray off the reservation. They are apoplectic over this, as the tone of this screed demonstrates.

Jambalaya Jindal!
