Obama

Why is everyone so surprised that Obama has outraised Hillary in the funding sweepstakes? Don't they realize that the race card always, repeat always, trumps the gender card? That was the great lesson of the O.J. trial.

Lets get this straight. Obama allows white Americans to fantasize that by supporting him they can at last put the racial animosity of the past half century behind them. They hope that his rise to prominence means that they never have to see Rev. Jackson, Rev. Sharpton, Rev. Farrakhan, or any of the other race hustlers who have made careers out of stirring up racial resentments ever again.

Guys, it ain't gonna happen. Barak Obama is not the "magic negro" who will wash away the past. Nobody is! And voting for him does not make you a "good person" -- it just marks you as a racist fool who can be exploited by racial imagery. And those outrageous "reverends", they aren't going to fade away. Life ain't that easy.

Why did I use the term "racist"? Think about it. Are you responding to the color of Obama's skin or his substantial accomplishments? Since he has damn few accomplishments, it is his skin and his forgiving manner that turns you on, and if you respond to racial cues, you are by definition a racist.

Live with it.

UPDATE: If you ever thought that the race hustlers would ever fade away into the background, look at what happened after Don Imus made that silly remark about the Rutgers basketbabes. The obnoxious "reverends" and the black studies posers were all over the tube.
