Rep. Clyburn of S.C makes me nauseated. |

He is on MSNBC and talking about how this is a racial election. I totally disagree as it is an election for America to move forward by a President who will lead us to safety. An election for change it is.
We don't need this as it is not necessary.

1. Of course race matters. |
|
This is America, to deny race is delusional.
"lead us to saftey"? You don't want a President, you want Lassie.

9. It is one of the most disingenoius aspects of the campaign. |
|
Ask the vast majority of black and brown people in America if race matters. It's a slam dunk. The whole 'race doesn't matter' spiel is fodder for the overwhelmingly white upper middle and upper class, that they might feel safe supporting this black man for president. It is a signal that there is no grievance or want to be redressed in any meaningful way. It is an assurance that the poor will remain under the bus. It is an assurance of Business AS Usual.

When a gang of thugs leads you into a dangerous area, you don't ask one of the thugs to lead you back to safety.

7. I'm extremely glad that he is not getting anymore air time |
|
with his inflammatory rhetoric. We have work so damn hard, I want this to be a clean win and most of all, not wanting to irritate potential voters... Agreed, it is an American Election; that is what Obama is sharing will everyone at each opportunity.

8. I really need a quote to know if that's really what he said and what he meant |
|
otherwise i'm not taking this with a big grain of salt. that is not how Clyburn typically speaks.
