I know you are better then that. It is not that you have to say something about whites. But if you say you will not vote for a black who you perceive to have benefited from affirmative-action but vote for a person that you know benefitted from Legacy programs or affirmative action that is being a hypocrite at the least and racist at its worst.
We now know that the people that were being hired as attorney-generals were being hired because of their politics and not because they were qualified and George Bush hired a man to head FEMA whose last job was judging horse shows. These types of things happen everyday and for someone to whine about Barack and Michelle Obama based on their perceived belief that they they were not qualified should be insulting to everyone.
