No, the logic is (and I’m not surprised you don’t get it) that we shouldn’t elect somebody just because they’re black or a woman.

That’s all Orgasma has going for him. That’s the only reason liberals spooge themselves in his presence.

Wheneve media types (CNN’s Campbell Brown comes to mind) and Obama supporters making the rounds of cable news shows talk about Obama’s difficulty attracting rural, white blue collar voters there’s often a tone of voice that implies it’s because those voters are racists.  Yet is seems just hunky dory that nearly 90 percent of blacks voting in the primaries and caucuses are voting for the black candidate.  (I’d guess a majority of them have no real idea of where Obama stands on the issues – their support is based on one thing, Obama’s color.) 

I’ve long thought of the Democrats as the party of people who think in racial categories and can’t escape them.  We know that for close to 200 years, they were the party of overt racism.  We also know they are the party of abortion and Planned Parenthood, and that Planned Parenthood was originally founded by racists (as a socially acceptable eugenics scheme).  The following video ties all that together, and must be seen/heard to be believed:

A spring 2007 newsletter from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) named Meeks one of the "10 leading black religious voices in the anti-gay movement".

Guess Who Meeks and Obama are both linked to? (Hint: Rezko) Hat tip Ace.

This is a great point, but it masks an even greater point: the much vaunted "national conversation on race" is not a dialogue, it is a lecture.

It works for a white guy to list all the racial sore points with great empathy and to tear up and chew on his lip. It earns points, but it doesn’t score. The great racial conversation will take the powerful voice and authenticity of a Martin Luther King who will be talking to both races while leading by example. There will be no room for race pimping in that conversation.

The idea that this leadership will come from a professional politician is ludicrous. Politicians pimp for votes as easily as they breathe.

Republican blacks in high places get accused of not being "black enough." That is because they eschew race pimping. They end up serving the nation and the Constitution and stay out of the race lecture game.
