For this, zennie calls her a racist and mentally ill. Obama's melanin does not make his ideas better, really. neither do Clinton's hormones. A reminder after MLK Day- judge on the content of character, wisdom, experience- not pigmentation, please. I am perfectly delighted to have an African American president. I am not prepared for Mr. Obama to be that president however, because I disagree with most of his positions.

It can save you a lot of time responding to people like Zennie. Loved your line, Y, about knowing nothing about Obama because there’s nothing to know.

Apparently (and unsurprisingly), I’m not the only one who has figured this out. Slate is running excerpts from what promises to be an interesting book: Richard Thompson Ford’s The Race Card: How Bluffing About Bias Makes Race Relations Worse. Given the nature of the publishing industry, this book was obviously written before Obama and Hillary dove into the cesspool of racism, so its presence on the market right now is serendipitous.
