Oh, I think that Mr. Obama is not the person to transcend race as predicted by most of the mainstream media. But I do believe that he will be an instrument of change. The "song" by Ludacris (later "denounced" by the Obama campaign) reinforces my belief. Obama wants to be the author of change, but he still calls attention to his race, mentioning at a fundraiser in Jacksonville (you can watch it here) that Republicans will say, "...oh, and did I mention, he's (Obama) black."
Why, if he is going to rise above change, does he keep the race issue alive? Why does he allow his wife to shoot her mouth off as to how much of a victim he has been - and potentially continues to be - during the course of his life. I have this terrible suspicion that even if Obama wins, should his presidency (ughh) be a failure, he will have put himself in the position to say that even though he became president, the racism in Congress prevented him from doing a better job. In this regard, he's no better than any other "victim".
What about Ludacris's rap paean to him: "...paint the White House black...McCain don't belong in any chair unless he's paralyzed." With regard to Hilary Clinton Ludacris has these words, "Hilary hated on you, so that bitch (distorted) is irrelevant." Where is the Liberal Feminist outrage for this?
Oh, sure, the Obama campaign denounced the song, but I wonder if they're really happy that the song went out to reach the young voters.
Great, Obama gets the gangsta vote. He'll create change alright. We'll be living under his racism.
