RACE AND POLITICS

Someday the Democrats will nominate a black candidate for President. The media will approach that election by questioning whether America is too racist to elect a black President.

Since it's possible that the Democrats will nominate a black candidate this time let's ask the question now.

Are Democrats too racist to nominate a black candidate?

For what substantive reason is Clinton leading Obama? What position is she taking that Obama isn't taking or vice versa? If Obama has shortcomings that might make him less desirable, youth, inexperience, flaky ideas etc. won't he have those same shortcomings if he wins the nomination? In other words I want the media to explain to me why it is or isn't racist that he's trailing Hilary.

It's a question we'll certainly hear directed toward Republicans some day.

Gee Tom, your comments are actually thoughtful and interesting though, certainly nothing that describes the average pundit today. Why the Junto boys be on a Sunday Morning Talk show.

But again you forget, "progressives" don't have to stand for anything, that just have to SAY they stand for things. And you can't prove they don't, racist!
