At the end of the day, everything comes down to race in America.
There is no way around it. We may act as if the issue dies after the Civil Rights Act was passed, and we may act as if race matters are resolved when MLK Day comes, but in the end, race whether publicly or privately is the dominate factor that occupies most Americans' minds nearly every single day. Anyone who disagrees with this is either on drugs or simply in denial.
It is not so much a bad thing that racial issues are still a dominant phenomena in our country. It is just that they are more interesting to me now that we have a black Presidential candidate who has a good chance of winning, if he can continue to be successful at convincing the electorate that he is a victim who is getting beat up by his opponent's (Sen. Clinton) husband.
I got to thinking the other day. And I now realize that it is impossible for Sen. Obama to win on his own.
He really needs the help of the Clintons! If they do not continue to pummel him, making him look like a poor pathetic victim, then he may have to stand on his own and talk about the issues...with some level of intelligence. God forbid!
The fact of the matter is that the former President's obsession with making sure his wife, the senator, wins this race has made Sen. Obama look innocent; he looks like someone who is getting unfairly beaten up.
