It is very discouraging to see how easily you have bought into the notion that KateTex is a racist. Somewhat like how easily the Clintons have been successfully painted as racists despite their decades of work to support civil rights. What I have seen in monitoring these boards is that Kate is angry at Obama and his supporters for playing the race card and tarnishing the Clintons with it. And in that, I agree with her. So, I suppose I am a racist too.
You are perfectly free to mistrust her. After all, she is a Clinton supporter so by definition is untrustworthy. People like David, Tom, Manos etc., on the other hand, are totally justified in race-baiting, name calling, cursing, smearing, inciting, etc. because they are Obama supporters, and therefore, pure as the driven snow. Look back over their previous posts. The most vile invective. I don't know Kate and I don't know you. I only know what I read. I thought you were sincere in your attempt to have a civil discussion about race, but your eagerness to label someone a racist reveals the phoniness of the Obama "ethos" of reconciliation. Truly disappointing, to say the least.
