“What a shame that a contest that has the world gripped, that is transforming international opinion of the United States, that has shown America in its best and most brilliant light, threatens to descend into a pathetic slanging match over race. What a shame for the centre Left, which had everything to cheer about in the stunning choice between, potentially, the first female and the first black president, that they are allowing the contest to slip into an idiotic series of unproven claims about racial bias.”

Rest of the Article

This Is Exactly What the Clinton’s Wanted…For white people like this to blame Obama and accuse him of “playing the race card” though he said almost nothing about race in response to Clinton and her surrogates taking veiled (or in some cases not so vailed) race baiting pot shots.

The only legitimate complaint made in the article is the one about Bill’s “fairy tale” statement in which he was clearly talking about Obama’s rendering of his own Iraq war record and said nothing about his campaign over all, nor were their any illusions to race. The problem is that the comment came right in the middle of a bunch of real race baiting and on the back of prior Muslim Manchuring Candidate insinuations by Hillary and her surrogates.

The current round of race baiting started when in response to Obama talking about the power of words and how John Kennedy and Martin L. King inspired people with there words (which itself was a response to Hillary making a comment in the previous debate about words being “nice” but not “their not action”); Hillary took the mantel of the civil rights movement out of the hands of MLK and Black activist and put it in the hands of white President Lyndon Johnson.

Obama didn’t even respond, so what the hell is Alice talking about?

Then right on the Hills of that Clinton trotted out every “Leading Black” she could find in her stable of “Toms” to make race based attacks extolling the Clintons as equally or more Black than Obama, attacking his character, and distorting the record to claim that Obama’s making it about race though he continues to say nothing about race; including not responding to the Clinton camp’s race baiting.

“On the Internet this is called “concern trolling,” which means pretending to be concerned about “X” in regard to “Y” when one is actually and actively floating “X” in an attempt to delegitimize “Y.”
