Still others are angry about appalling unemployment rates for black Americans; but while overall unemployment was lower under Clinton, black unemployment was double that of whites, as it is now. And, of course, Clinton supported and signed welfare "reform," cutting off America's neediest despite economic growth.
She completely glosses over how vastly much worse unemployment is for everyone now, not just blacks. That is the primary reason Obama is being rejected by large swaths of the electorate. She has to pretend otherwise to postulate that it is all about racism - and that renders her column worthless.
