Racial Tensions Among the Democrats

Our "first black president" doesn't want Obama to become the first real black president. And that's causing problems on the Left. From the Politico.

A series of comments from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, her husband and her supporters are spurring a racial backlash and adding a divisive edge to the presidential primary as the candidates head south to heavily African-American South Carolina.

The comments, which ranged from the New York senator appearing to diminish the role of Martin Luther King Jr. in the civil rights movement — an aide later said she misspoke — to Bill Clinton dismissing Sen. Barack Obama’s image in the media as a “fairy tale” — generated outrage on black radio, black blogs and cable television. And now they've drawn the attention of prominent African-American politicians.

The challenge for the Clintons is to appeal to black voters while dissing one of their own. If the black community falls for this they deserve everything they get from the Democrats: the back of the bus ... forever.

Just as the Republicans need to appeal to Christian conservatives, Democrats absolutley need the black vote. Without it they are a forever minority.
