The hidden GOP codebook in ‘post-racial America’

- Racism, and America’s past and present complicity in perpetuating it, is central in the 2008 presidential campaign. With the Democratic Party poised to nominate Barack Obama as its candidate, both Obama and McCain have to decide how to use or ignore race in their campaigns.

For Obama’s part, it is not necessary to play the race card. By virtue of the fact that he is black, the race card is played. For him, the issue is not being perceived as being “too black” or “not black enough.” That is, racialized thinking and the articulation of race in America has shown us that white Americans may accept a black man for president who does not remind them of the much maligned Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. It is the choice between the acceptable Negro (Sidney Poitier in Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner) or Malcolm X the Maddening Negro.

    same old 60's BS panther rhetoric, deal with today's problems like the RACE WARS IN Los Angeles….Blacks are being MURDERED (affiliated or not) by ILLEGAL ALIEN MEXICANS. Yet liberals like yourselves (and I can tell your primary persuasions, because I read the leftist propaganda you guys put out).

    ILLEGAL ALIENS have killed more blacks in LA in this race war (which has lasted 13 years now), THAN ALL OF THE LYNCHINGS, KKK MURDERS, etc. IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY of the UNITED STATES.

    STOP CALLING US RACIST AS THOUGH YOU somehow “know” what is going on in our “heads” as whites. You don't like when its done to you, so you only show your hypocrisy when you LABEL whites as racists.

    INVESTIGATE a real war against blacks, and agains the UNITED STATES, its called the illegal immigration wars against the Western US's black population….30 years from now it will be full-fledged Eastern and Southern as well. But by then, none of will be left to help you!

    CA 1 – 8 -7 ILLEGAL ALIENS
