"Are black Americans less entitled to "non-mainstream" ideas than our white counter-parts?"

DUH!

Another point...it is so hard for me to understand why there is always so much outrage when a White person is accused of racism, yet there is no outrage when racism occurs.

I think that is why race relations will be very hard to improve in this country...people aren't interested in solving racism, only in making sure that nobody ever gets called a racist.

Well 20+% of voters defecting to McCain over Obama doesn't smack of racism just like there wasn't anything racist about Michael Richards saying "n!gger" a dozen times. It must be nice to be blissfully ignorant.

These articles/polls are nothing more than the media trying to push this narrative that Obama is unelectable and keep this horse race going all the way til the convention. Obama has been getting totally hammered by the media which is interested in tabloid stories rather than substance and the issues affecting Americans.

We'll see on Tuesday if the media can hang up a "mission accomplished" banner if Obama doesn't manage to win North Carolina or gets blown out in Indiana. Until then, the media is in an ass backwards way doing Obama a favor by lowering expectations. Typically Obama has been expected to win or in some cases win by double digits, so with the expectations being set at barely winning or getting blown out...if/when he exceeds that his success might finally be recognized.

Yeah I can't respond either...but

Present you said "He should have waited at least 4 years before running for president. He was pushed out too early. Too much garbage from the hood, and too little accomplishment to surpass it."

In 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 years he will still be a Black man in America, so time won't make a bit of a difference in the minds of bigots like you. What are you talking about "garbage from the hood"? What "hood" is Obama from? Your racism is showing.

The Democratic Party can kiss the Black vote goodbye if Obama is robbed of the nomination. The MSM doesn't care about Black folks enough to actually give us a voice...however that doesn't mean that we aren't watching and taking notes. The Democratic Party has been able to hang on by a thread with the support of 90+% of the Black vote for decades and yet the party is perfectly content allowing racism to decide this election.

Clinton supporters can say all day that they haven't been race-baiters, but you can't piss on our leg and tell us its raining. If the party and the media planned on doing everything in their power to eliminate Obama they should've done it before we started looking, because now there is no turning back. And spare me the crap about "Clinton is better than McCain", because the fact is her and her husband are no different when it comes to being willing to throw Black folks under the bus.

Clinton didn't know her husband as well as she thought when he was sleeping around with a White House intern. Let's not play the guilt by association game because Clinton loses by a landslide.

If this nomination is stolen from Obama then I will never vote for the Democratic Party again. The truth is, economically my interests are probably better suited by the Republican Party and both parties have shown themselves to be remarkably incompetent in getting ANYTHING accomplished in the past 8 years. But what I refuse to do is support a bunch of racist pigs. From now on, every individual has to earn my vote regardless of party, but Clinton will NEVER get my vote.

Actually they dont owe the Clintons an apology at all, because they are correct! Obama has to take the high road when it comes to race, because morons like you will call him racist if he calls people out on their bs.

Why hide behind the point of "what some liberal bloggers will say" when you are posting an article complaining about his appearance?

Where is the rundown from the interview? This is a whine session with ZERO useful information.

Obama did an excellent job of taking on Fox in the sense that he is finally speaking for himself about the issues that have been distorted for weeks by Fox.

He has humanized himself to Fox viewers and that counts for a lot. His answers were spot on and this is definitely a win for him.
