I was reading an article today on CNN about the democratic race and ran into some verbage that floored me. How a liberal outfit like CNN let this one go through the filter is amazing. I was just reading a long and wham here is what I found.
“But Clinton is not the only candidate who does well with black Democrats in South Carolina. Obama does, too. He could be highly competitive with her for black votes, particularly if he wins the New Hampshire primary. African-Americans might suddenly become excited by the prospect of nominating one of their own.”
So now it is appropriate to say “one of their own”? I’m sorry, but that is 1960 southern talk there. In my mind that comment is just blatantly racist. Anyway, just amazing that he thought it appropriate to write like that and CNN did not seem to find a problem with it.
I have been visiting this site a lot lately, so i thought it is a good idea to show my appreciation with a comment.
Thanks,
