In addition to alienating some white voters, I seem to recall that the "other minorities" do not generally feel
much "solidarity" when black folks cry racism ... Do I remember correctly that Obama is not gaining ground with Hispanics either?
But god knows African-Americans are not our only minority population that receives regular harrassment and disrespect and is inadequately represented politically ...
I'm doubtful you can find anyone to condone racism. But it appears almost self-indulgent when we condemn racisim absolutely unequivocally day in and day out ... An acknowledgement there is REAL active dangerous racism of consequence towards other groups, off the top of my head, such as Native Americans, Hispanics and Middle Easterners might be appropriate. oh, and Jews. Some of it is more regional that others but it too is America's shame. Oh, and then there's homophobia
Yeah, land of the free, home of the brave, and we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights ...
