As I dared to mention race and Obama, I am starting to get comments challenging my assertion that his race plays any role in Obama's campaign.
Well, as I said in a
comment to
my earlier post,
Obama's supporters seem to think otherwise.* The supporters themselves are telling me Obama's campaign is all about healing racial divides (their words, not mine). Who am I to deny their own assertions about their motives?
Well, actually,they may all be using that "healing the racial divide" bit because of that first article to which I linked, which, though written by a private citizen, it is hosted on an official Obama site. You see, as I have been told, Obama doesn't mention race. He just publicizes it when others mention it for him. Somehow it isn't quite the same as not mentioning it at all.
So, please, tell me again how race has nothing to do with Obama's success.
