Are The Clinton's Racist?
Race, or Reverend Jeremiah Wright, turned out to be the decider in the Democratic party presidential nominations. With the end of the race in sight, it certainly looks like the Clinton's have a lot of apologizing to do.
Hillary Clinton's "working, hardworking Americans, white Americans" comments seemed to have touched a raw nerve. Coming hot of the heels of Reverend Wright's remarks at the National Press Club, I have every reason to believe that the Clinton's had something to do with the pastor's re-emergence.
Unfortunately, the race card has back fired on the Clinton's. Never mind that they had miserably failed to portray Obama's candidacy as a African American affair shortly after their loss in South Carolina.
To hear the Clinton's being called racists is ironical. Who would have thought that America's first black president would be touted as a champion of white supremacy.
This coming week may signal the end of the Clinton's era. With Obama having surpassed Hillary Clinton's lead among pledged super-delegates, I expect more to come out of the wood works now that the media has taken to bashing the Clinton's.
Not even New York's Saturday Night Live has spared Hillary Clinton.
Politics is a dirty game. Can it get any murkier than this?

The Clintons were behind Rev. Wright. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/29/clinton-booster-organized_n_99129.html).

Barbara Reynolds, a Clinton supporter organized the trip, and the Question and Answer period for Reverend Wright.
It is obvious Barbara Reynolds and Rev. Wright were both out to get Obama.
Obama has as good as won the Democratic nomination. Winning the presidency, in my opinion, will be less grueling, Rev Wright or Left notwithstanding.
Here we have a candidate who had everything against him save for his mouth when he joined the race. The ease with which Hillary Clinton treated Obama in the initial days of the campaign is the same that most Americans treated him with. Today this has changed.
His triumph so far is his charm.
A person who rises from doubt puts to shame many who never believed in him/her because he/she had faith in him/herself when you did not. The way to pay for your ‘mistake’ is to support that person. You are so awed to go anywhere else.
That is what Americans have been paying Obama and will continue doing so till he wins. Defections to Obama camp have started and will overflow in the days to come.
Obama should win for the sake of the black race. How? Because what a black man lacks is not wealth or intellect; He does not have SELF-ESTEEM. Lack of confidence is eating us away. We need a rejuvenation of faith in ourselves.
Thank you.
Katch-up, I concur. An Obama win will go long way in encouraging the African American community to take greater ownership in their destiny.
