Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
Don't you find it somewhat interesting that Herman Cain is a favorite of Tea Party people, who the media keep telling us are racists? Maybe they somehow didn't notice that he is AA.
We have a republican primary with one of the major candidates a highly accomplished black man, and no one mentions race. It just isn't a consideration to the vast majority of voters or the media. Yet, when obama ran, it was all the democrats could talk about. Obama would not have won the nomination if he had been white and he certainly wouldn't have been elected. That's just a fact. If he were white, he would be Dennis Kuchinich, with that level of support.
The lesson I draw from this is that republicans judge people on their character not their skin color, and democrats by contrast are obsessed with race. I wonder how Dr. King would react to that?
