[I posted this on someone else's blog]
As someone noted a while ago in this campaign, "race is America's 'Original Sin.'" It's an intrinsic element of our Constitution and the Amendments. It's the essence of American history from the Colonies, the "3/5" clause, the Civil War, Reconstruction, Plessy v. Ferguson, Brown v. Board, Segregation, the Civil Rights Movement…and now the Democaratic Primary of 2008.
Sure, sexism exists and is intolerable, but racism is an infinitely more serious problem. Unless we resolve it, the "United" States will remain a chimera.
It was in response to the blogger's commentary on The Clintons' recent series of observations re: Obama's ability "to appeal to WHITE voters"!
