Clinton Supporters

For the first time in almost 20 years we have a black candidate for president. This breaks all kinds of norms. First it, for the first time in decades, makes black america wake up to the fact that they need to be involved in the process. More importantly, it forces certain parts of the democratic party to acknowledge their racism. (Those of us in the middle have seen racism on both sides for a while...) This self reflection won't take place till after the primary is over but it's in the mail. America, as a whole gains, and it gains more every time someone argues the issues and not focuses the debate onto race.

I'm actually starting to think this might be good for Obama as by the time October hits Race is going to be pretty old news. If that's the case I think Obama has the best chance to convince America he has the solutions to meet our problems.
