Racism works both ways.
Despite the absurd contention that Blacks can't be racists, the fact of the matter is that racism is widespread among Afican-Americans, as demonstrated by the huge majority of Blacks voting for Senator Obama. Voting for someone based on skin color is as clearly racist as voting against a candidate because of his race.
What we're seeing now is an effort to tar anyone who opposes Barack Hussein Obama's presidential bid as "racist," regardless of Obama's total lack of qualifications to hold that office.
The media has deemed him even more liberal than Senator Clinton so Obama is their pick and Clinton is fair game to be attacked on such issues as her latest stupid gaffe on Bobby Kennedy's assassination. Meanwhile, Obama's associations with admitted terrorist William Ayers and with America-hater Rev. Jeremiah Wright are downplayed as was his reference to campaigning in all 57 states.
SALON's readers seem to be largely left wing but I have some news for them anyway: Senator Obama will never be elected president, not because of racism but because he is totally unqualified and, worse, because of serious questions about his allegiance.
