Hillary's reckless exploitation of racial division could split the Democratic Party over race -- a tragic legacy for the Clintons.
  • CLINTONS RACIST? NO. DESPERATE? yes

    African Americans have had no better friends in politics since Bobby Kennedy. The clumsey attacks show desperation which is a character flaw. I non't think the Clintons were channeling George Wallace:

    After the election, aide Seymore Trammell recalled Wallace saying, "Seymore, you know why I lost that governor's race?... I was outniggered by John Patterson. And I'll tell you here and now, I will never be outniggered again." Wiki.

    Shakespeare has been helpful sorting this tragedy out:

    To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

    Creeps in this petty pace from day to day

    To the last syllable of recorded time,

    And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

    The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

    Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player

    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

    And then is heard no more: it is a tale

    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

    Signifying nothing. MacBeth
