Not to say she is wrong - he could be a victim - but, rather her assuming; because of his skin color. . .that she is right. . .

So, how am I wrong?

Think the error here; is basic her presumption of probability of Obama's being a victim. . .not because he is 'in the wrong place'; but by his having the 'wrong' skin color. . .

Obama himself, bumps the edges here with his 'assumptions of race' when he offered last week; a racist, color logic: the more African-American you look; the more you are treated like one. . .while not being specific as to whom belonged, the racist response.

Was Obama including himself; as a light-skinned, but-not-white-skinned observer; or was he excluding himself from his own observations and conclusion; and just ascribing his perceived 'racism' to non-black observers.

These to me are kind of strange comments from someone; who claims a 'neutral eye'. . .intends to represent a united America; a less divisive America; but whose perspective, nonetheless; is defined, by gradations of color - and with color-coordinated, corresponding assumptions.

I think this is a man; who in truth; is still, not on the best terms with himself. His personal discomfort is not just with the appearance of his ears. . .or with his middle name. . .
