Bigger picture versus micro-parsing the text
I would agree that trying to figure out if Hillary is racist or not is a waste of time. And I would agree that the way we view this race thingy is broken.
But I listened to Hillary speak today, and I've read the text. She's saying what many people say here. Her voting block is her's alone and Obama can never win it. It's not directly the race card, it's the fear of the race card: The white blue collar working class will never vote for the black dude. They're trying to marginalize Obama again, just like Jesse Jackson, that inspiring, but fringe candidate. That's been the strategy all alone to ghetto Obama and his supporters. Obama is just words, an empty suit, he can’t be CinC, dreams don't matter, no you can't. His supporters, if they are under 30 are young, stupid and naive. If over thirty they are a combination of effete and affluent and/or crazy leftist liberal. If you’re African American, your enthusiasm is tolerated, but you’re reminded your numbers are inadequate.
So it’s business as usual for a campaign that started out with all the advantages, but ended up scraping the bottom of the barrel with the fear card.
