Obama's historic run heads south

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"?

    susan: get lost.. it is folks like you living in denial playing cum ba ya while hard core raw real world

    truths just float right by you..

    Your passive rose color view makes life more difficult not easier for people of color expecially those Blacks of a darker hue..

    Have you no understanding of the role of color has played in America's racial landscape??

    Folks like you remind me of Black apologists who put Blacks in harms way by not being honest and candid with white people..

    Leadership does not mean avoidance and delection and "moving on" . Your posture reflects why racism in our county has such a long shelve life..

    Do me a favor get out of the way or allow me to chat with your Black peers about life for them.. I doubt if your 'cum ba ya ' ears could handle that discourse..
