As a black male I do not condone racism, but we need to look at where the real fight should be at the present time. The real fight at this time should be to remove the present administration from the whitehouse, not stir up a division within the only party that can remove present administration. And then spoil that party's ability to accomplish the main objective that needs to be accomplished. We must remember that the Republican party are some shrewd and underhanded fighters who will use any and everything they can to foil the democratic party, as has been clearly demonstrated in the last two elections. Let's not give them another dagger to attack with. Furthermore; if Obama is elected President, do we think he'll help the country if he is spending all his time putting out racial fires or constantly trying to resolve issues where he or we think something racist was said. Let's be real, whether a black man becomes president or not, racism is not leaving this country yet. We have more issues to concern ourselves with than this issueat present time. Let's secure the nation first and then deal with the racism afterwards. Also, if he wins, Obama may not be the first black President of the U.S. If you review your history you will find that Warren Harding may have been a black man according the the U.S. definition of black. President Harding's grand father was a black man from Jamaica. And look at what happened to him. We have more to concern ourselves with if we really want a black man in the Presidency, than what someone said that could have been construed as having racial undertones.

"The comeback K_d." I don't want to be called a racist. What did Bill Clinton call himself back in 1992?

I actually saw the first airing and the context that Clinton made the comments in were far from critical and not even close to racist. The race card against Clinton is like accusing Bush of being smart, totally absurd. Clinton stated matter of factly that he did not consider Obama unqualified and has constantly more than perhaps any politician of his stature shown that he respects and admires Obama even though Obama is challenging his wife for the nomination. The entire premise of this post is ridiculous. This is pathetic. I actually saw the first airing and the context that Clinton made the comments in were far from critical and not even close to racist.
