Obama, Clinton, Race America and the GOP.

I imagine that it has to be difficult to be a Democrat, Female, and fill Hillary Clinton's shoes. The focus of her life right now is to find an effective way to marginalize a black man's accomplishments, and not insult liberals while doing it. I would not want her job.

In contrast, the GOP has no problems using racism and fear to rally the troops. From an Email sent to me by a white acquaintance who used the dreaded phrase "I am not a racist....but". Which really means: "I am a racist", when telling me about the Email.

Interestingly, the Email's author also feels that saying "This is not a racist statement" right before and after racist statements, makes them stop being racist statements.

A short excerpt:

"But for minorities, and in particular blacks, this election
represents a moment of long-awaited validation. There is no question that
the election of an African-American president will empower the blacks of
this country. Don't misunderstand me - this is not a racist statement, this
is just a fact, and in many respects this could be a good thing. But there is no denying the sense of audacious rebellion that constantly simmers in
much of the black community, particularly with the youth of the large
metropolitan areas. I have some concern that the election of a black
president will take us back to a consciousness that promotes the power of
race over intelligence, reason, and the value of law..."

The GOP is using race against Obama. It worked with my acquaintance, he is afraid. It seems that the GOP are also afraid that a black man might win the US Presidency.

The words of the GOP are false. This is a country of the people, all of the people. While the words of the GOP in 2008 are more eloquent than most of the rants of American racists over the last several centuries, the meaning of their words however, are the same:

If you let one of them run the country, they will take us back to a consciousness that promotes the power of race over intelligence, reason and the value of law.

If you let one of them vote, they will will take us back to a consciousness that promotes the power of race over intelligence, reason and the value of law.

If you let one of them into your school, they will take us back to a consciousness that promotes the power of race over intelligence, reason and the value of law.

If you let one of them ride in the front of the bus they will take us back to a consciousness that promotes the power of race over intelligence, reason and the value of law.

If you let one of them live in your neighborhood they will take us back to a consciousness that promotes the power of race over intelligence, reason and the value of law.

If you let one of them serve in the Military, they will take us back to a consciousness that promotes the power of race over intelligence, reason and the value of law.

If you abolish slavery, they will take us back to a consciousness that promotes the power of race over intelligence, reason and the value of law.

This Presidential election is a litmus test for racial tolerance in the USA. Will we pass?

Addendum: I, Liberal CCW solemnly deny that there is a sense of audacious rebellion in much of the black community.
