Reply #112: How is it that people are so uneducated ?

There is a difference between being racist and exploiting racism.
The Clintons and the Clinton camp have successfully exploited racism and stereotypes very subtley.

They have created a situation where there would be people who point out insensitivity, and defenders will rise up to argue against excess political correctness.

They have created a national conversation that surrounds Obama in which racist remarks would inevitibly be thrown.

I think it is clear that the surrogates knew what they were doing. With or without the approval of the campaign.
The unwillingness to acknowledge and value the response to what was considered insensitive by some people in the black community was something that I have found extremely disappointing.

Additionally, while it may have simply been thoughtless speaking on the part of Bill Clinton, I certainly am not willing to accept this unwillingsness to consider implications from the "first black president."

Politics is dirty, and people use what they have. Opportunistic, and despicable as it is, that does not mean that they are racist. Most people who are bothered by all of this don't believe that they are.

I personally believe that both Clinton's believe Hillary has the best solutions and they can justify dirty politics to themselves with good intentions. I give them some benefit of doubt on it. But it makes me very angry.

I cannot let it slide, because it matters. These are unhealthy arguments and the origin matters.
