Who knew that black racism was so important?
The last time anyone talked about black racism towards whites was during Season 4 of The Jeffersons before they mellowed George.

Now, it is suddenly one of the most important issues of a political campaign.

In all seriousness, when was the last time anyone on this board actually expressed concern about black racism towards whites (and a five minute conversation in 1994 about Farrakhan insulting Jews doesn't count)? Prior to this election cycle, how many people on this board even thought that black racism towards whites was possible? And if it did exist, how many would have justified it?

I believe a year ago, most people would not care about this type of preaching. And if it was posted, most would try to find a way to justify it. Because DU will justify ANYTHING if the view is that its an underdog taking on a power.

May you live in interesting times.

3. The apparent racism by blacks towards whites in this campaign isnt........

......against whites, its against the Clintons and their subtle usage of racism in their campaign.

No one seems to remember that even after Iowa poll after poll in South Carolina showed Hillary leading among blacks there by a 2 to 1 margin over Obama.

It wasnt until her campaign chief of staff made remarks trying to make it questionable if Obama was somehow still using crack (leading to his dismissal), and followed by Bill's use of subtle racism in SC that lost her the support among blacks nationwide.

The black people dont hate whites, they hate Hillary.
