Democrazy: Oct 16, 2008; If you're not willing to lick the boot, then really why are you in politics lol? Everything is a cycle of just getting stomped on so why do you want to lose to it over and over, just submit like me, I'm very intelligent.

I loving love PBS Newshour. Judy Woodruff is particularly the poo poo.

The only thing that could tickle my liberal heart more would be Peter Sagal, Ira Glass and Jack Speer moderating a debate.

Black is a better word to use.

Yes black is fine. Blacks/the blacks especially when said by an old white dude just ruffles my feathers. I am 100% black by the way not of mixed decent. Maybe it is different for others?

So is Hilary's strategy to just say "Obama" enough times to win the black vote?

positioning herself as Obama Term 3 has been her main strategy

This is key to the Bernie campaign. If he can convincingly tie Wall St. corruption to race relations, he makes his case.

I have no idea how well he's doing.

Everyone is trying the out the other as a secret racist

Neither Hillary and Bernie are racists

Yeah that was my bad actually. Sounded like a gendered slur a la carpet muncher.

It's Cool. I've said some dumb things today periodically.

I recommend reading up on Reconstruction. It's a fascinating and insanely depressing bit of American history that carries a LOT of weight wrt racial relationships today. Carpet-bagging was one slur issued against the "northern oppressors" and also has a lot of relevance with modern anti-government groups like the Bundys.

Race relations can be improved as much as you want but if you don't fix the horrific K-12 education system, the same systemic issues in the black community will still be prevalent.
