Did his victory in Iowa and strong showing in New Hampshire really "put to rest the notion that a black candidate can't win in America"?

    Black folks inclusion into american society has always been a white folks issue and problem

    NH, MI,NV all are states which whites outnumber all people of color clearly the majority of whites did not vote for Obama in these states primaries..

    Whites are embrassed when reports surface about the "Bradley" effect becuase it is true. White get uncomfortable when race questions surface becuase it reflects America's fabric and reality..

    White liberals more than white conservatives are the voters who will disappoint many Black voters with regard to Obama.

    Hillary and Bill have an "entitlement" mentality with regard to Black voters they think Black folks 'owe them" something..

    In my pubic speaking I always inject Ali's quote "..The VC never called me a nigger.." ALi was referring to both liberal whites and conservative whites..

    Black folks latest obstacle to life, loberty and thepursuit of happiness are now white liberals whose arrogance , patronizing demeanor is a staple on this Salon's staff and it's posters..
