I have heard that Obama is more American Arab than African
American is that true?
My next question is if he is elected and fails will the Africans Americans blame the white man the Republicans or both.

The writer of this article is ‘teaching a course about this election this fall’ and yet the theme of this article is that if Obama loses, it will be because of his race.

The same was done about Ferraro and the latest Hillary. Given the right candidate, anyone can win.

The way to overcome predjudice is to demonstrate that a group is really not significantly different than another. For example, there used to be alot of discrimination against Irish and Italians. Over the years these groups demonstrated the same capabilities and values as mainstream America. They may celebrate different holidays, or have some distinctive traditions, but they are generally inconsequential. Very few people give a second thought to whether someone is Irish or Italian these days, it tells you nothing significant about the person. If groups continue to demand special benefits, openly reject mainstream American thoughts and tradition, and if racial or ethnic differences can be strongly correlated with negative behaviors and attitudes, predjudice will never disappear.

"the success of her three children, all of whom attended Princeton and became attorneys (one is a federal judge). "

You know, I am really starting to get tired of people telling us how unfair they have it in life while going to Ivy League schools. Spare me.

One thing that would help overcome that is for blacks to stop making fun of blacks for “acting white” (take the Fresh Prince and his insults to Carlton).

My teenage grandchildren have a black father. Therefore they like Obama. I was thinking about them last week, how it wouldn’t do any good to try to change their minds, when I realized how angry they would be when he loses. I guess it is like trying to convince a teenager with a broken heart from puppy love that this will pass and a better person will come along soon.

Nobama has “intelligence, verve, and elegance”, but what he lacks is a valid birth certificate. What he also has had is an Indonesian passport that he used to travel to Pakistan. He also has a flat butt from sitting for 20 years in the pews at “Rec” Wright’s wrong church. What he also has is a shrill wife who hasn’t been proud of America until a year of campaigning.
The blacks have been sold a true pail of crap.
I really feel sorry for them.

If they do, it will set back civil rights decades.

It won't set it back, it will merely reveal just how far we have to go.

I, too, am struck by the transformation in the Democrat Party. From a party of white racists, who denied to right to vote to blacks in South Carolina and killed Medgar Evers, to a party of black racists, who ask the country to elect a man who is not qualified for any public position President on the basis of his skin color.

An amazing tranformation!

Randall Kennedy is a professor of law at Harvard University and the author, most recently, of "Sellout: The Politics of Racial Betrayal."

The author of this piece of dreck is a professor of law at Harvard University. Think about that for a moment. Harvard is, supposedly, the best law school in the country, and yet they have a spot on the faculty for this guy.

I have it on the authority of two white Obama supporters in my area that the only reason Obama could lose is because of racism and that if America weren’t racist Obama would be up by at least twelve percent in the polls. If a couple of central Illinois crackers have bought into this mentality I can’t imagine the inner city storms that are brewing.

I don’t think urban Black America is engaged in any political person or process enough to incite any level of discord. They just couldn’t care less.

Sounds like the race baiters are trying to burn a Crescent on our front lawn. I thought this behavior was frowned on. Lest we forget Reverend Wright...
