It is and example of how Barak got past the race card against him or if he as you suggest used it to his advantage. I give the voters more credit, and would not insult there intellegence by suggesting that he is using it (race card) for his advantage. Cherry picking comments out of speechs and the national press hardly paints a clear picture that the race card is a factor in this election. We havent gone there but I believe the despiration of Republicans and not Democrats will inflame this issue at the 11th hour. If Blacks would like to change to a better party other then the ones they have chosen in this case the Democratic Party so be it. Over the decades the Republican Party has done little comparitivly speaking to that of Democrats. If the contrary is true, why is it that any Black Democrats do not switch to the Republican Party? The sheer numbers are revealing in itself, and Republican policies are shutting out the middle and lower class, which also includes African-Americans. Martin Luther King would be proud today of Senator Obama. King's hard work and many others is a shining example of where he is today. God Bless Plain and simple, Obama won the Democratic National race not because of the color of his skin but rather his abilites Democrats would like in a President.

I believe that we are truly heading in that direction with leaps and bounds here in the US but we are still facing a worldwide caste society. That said, however, Hope still abounds!
