I don't believe Barak Obama to be racist. He's much to intelligent to hold such an antiquated and irrational position. But then again, I could swear I heard an echo of Dr. Martin Luther King Junior in Obama's victory speech in Iowa. "We shall overcome!" Overcome what?
Hilary is no better, but then we knew that already. The rhetoric is clear, not that either is racist, but that both have bought into the pathetic martyrdom of the African American leadership.
The truth is, whether America as a whole is ready for a president well-versed in racist rhetoric, much of Black America is. Racism is an issue still today because Blacks make it such. It is the foundation of today's Black Leadership's social and political agenda. Without it, Black Americans become simply Americans, and that is not yet acceptable to them.
