And as SD himself has noted that whites will soon be in the minority, isn't it pretty forward-thinking to work NOW to make sure current minorities have a good education?

First, I can only hope you're joking when you state, “Someone must have gotten my blog to the Obama campaign because Michelle Obama followed my advice…” Like most of the country, I'm less smart than Michelle Obama, and it still didn't need saying from you.

Second, there's some play happening with your use of examples. It's the internet, so I'm sure if you look hard enough, you'll find someone to say that “that one” is a racist phrase. However, in the Observer article, you haven't got a single person saying so. There's disquieting video coming out every day from the McCain/Palin rallies. I chalk it up to small-town xenophobia (tractors rule! public transportation droolz!) over anything else. I would argue, that even in an economic crisis, letting hateful crap just fly around is the beginning of a slippery slope. There's a reason that people keep re-airing the footage of John McCain plowing along, a bit nonplussed after a supporter called Obama a terrorist; it's a powerful visual metaphor of the honor he's lost. If things get worse, an environment of “us vs. them” politics could flourish, across all kinds of groups. Restoring the promise of the country economically and socially really is going to take everyone, so it's very relevant that we do not countenance b***s***.

When Senator Obama stands in front of a crowd of blacks or Hispanics and talks about raising taxes on the rich, it is understood that rich equals white. Senator Obama has run a camapign on the idea of taxing others to give government goodies to the tradiation power blocks of the Democratic Party.

Senator Obama comes from a city where about 10% of the public schools students are white. Yet, Senator Obama sends his own chidlren to a school that if over 70% white. The last thing you can expect from a big city black politican is inclusiveness. What can be expected is a policy of “Sit Down, shut up, and do what you are told or you will called a racist.”

Even in the fact of more than a trillion additional dollars in government debt, Senator obama's Hispanic cooridantor was on C-SPAN promising free college, free healthcare, and more government jobs.
