Throwaway post as I'm off to the airport, but I just want to add this to the list of reasons why it's silly to back Obama. I'm very sorry to say it, but: A Black man will not be president in this country for a long time yet. How do I know this? Because if you go through all the links at the site this post is concerned with, you'll see some really amazingly stupid shit that somehow still reasonates with a large population of race-baiting Republican operatives whores/journalists, and at the same time, an even larger population of racist viewers/voters who will come out of the woodwork like flies on shit if he gets the nomination. If they don't kill him, they will vote in numbers Republicans don't deserve in this age and haven't seen since the Civil War. There will be Movements and carpools and church events, all to make sure every last one of their cracker friends do the same. Remember when Good Liberals said that nominating Ferraro, for Vice President, wouldn't hurt Mondale? This is 10X as bad, and I'll remind you of the pasting they took.

When we can have an honest conversation about race in this country, we'll see a "race candidate' with an honest chance. Not before. This example is only the merest taste of what he can expect, just wait until he officially declares. You'll think it's 1948. Trust me.
