Double standards. One white, one black.
Let's take Obama's statement about rural small towns and juxtapose it with Rendell's statements about rural Pennsylvanians will not vote for a "black man". Why outrage on one side and not the other? Why a liability on one side and not another? Just curious.

1. SImple. The outrage for Obama is manufactured by the Hillary Camp
Obama has better things to do than to feign outrage at every stupid thing Hillary and her surrogates do.

4. Because racism is mostly about the oppressed and try as som might that isn't on the flip side...

Reality is never saw the hotels that black folks said no whites alowed. Or the black people that said not whtes at this water fountain, I never saw that. It didn't happen. White folk never got beat down tryting to attend a school and they might not quite understand the revulsion of if they had seen white folk floating in the flood water of katrina. In 2004 we did see folks vote on those issues or race and guns no lie at all. Not specifically PA but it did hapen.

For the feminist it is like saying men can decalre sexim they really can't.
