The Race Card?

My earlier point:
The networks and pundits keep harping on the White Working class vote, and how the Democrats cannot win the White House without it. How do they feel about a candidate who's getting less than 10 percent of the Black vote? Which Democrat won the White House without Blacks? And this brings me to a very disturbing trend in Democratic politics. Blacks are taken for granted. They can be derided, ridiculed, betrayed, and the strategists and the punditry assumes that they'll come home in the end.

Clinton says as much in this very unfortunate piece of racist dog-whistling.

A quote:
I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.

And when asked about her own single-digit percentage among African Americans, she made the same point as I made before. In other words, don't worry, we can take them for granted. I don't know if anyone asked the obvious follow-up to nail her on the race card: if African American can come to you, why can't those hard working non-college educated Whites go to Obama?

The Clinton pitch now is merely reduced to the refrain that Obama cannot win White votes for the unspoken reason that he's Black. There is no difference between her and the Republicans: politics of the lowest common denominator evoking and invoking the worst in us.

I hope the African American community never forgets the vile and disgraceful way in which the Clintons have played the race card throughout this campaign. I hope they run Bill Clinton out of Harlem, oust Hillary from the US Senate and send these cynical carpetbaggers back to Arkansas.
