Boy, I’m sure glad we cleared this up.
If America wasn’t racist when they elected Barack Obama president, they’re racist now? How does that worked exactly? The conventional wisdom before the election was that if Obama lost, it would be because of racism.
But, he won!
So, racism is longer a factor, right?

House Assistant Democratic Leader Jim Clyburn, the highest-ranking African-American in Congress, on Wednesday blamed most of President Barack Obama's political problems on racism.
Clyburn, who's from South Carolina and is a close ally of the president, offered his views in response to a question about Obama's re-election prospects next year.
"I think they're improving every day," Clyburn said. "I think the president has been a good president, a great commander in chief."
Clyburn, who met his wife at a 1960 court hearing after spending a night in jail for having engaged in a civil rights protest in Orangeburg, S.C., then brought up Obama's race as the first black president.
"You know, I'm 70 years old," he said. "And I can tell you; people don't like to deal with it, but the fact of the matter is, the president's problems are in large measure because of the color of his skin."
Clyburn noted that he himself got hate mail, racist phone calls and offensive faxes on a regular basis. Asked how that relates to the president, Clyburn retorted: "We have the same skin color; that's how it relates to him."

Clyburn has fulfilled his duty as an African American politician in the Democrat Party which is to cry racism at least 4 times a month. However, this rate is going to be ramped up significantly as Election Day 2012 approaches.
It’s extremely important for the Democrat Party to remind black folks who really loves them.
Never mind the so-called War on Poverty instituted by Dems that devastated the black family.
Never mind that inner-cities throughout the country controlled by Democrat policies still have failing public schools, still have Black and Latino unemployment double whatever the national average is.
Don’t pay attention to what’s happening behind the curtain as that Democrat politician gives fat cash to a union big wig that represents the very same teachers earning over $100 K despite the fact that graduation rates of Blacks and Latinos are decreasing.
Never mind that Detroit, run by Democrats for a millennia, has become Afghanistan with a better hockey team.
No, no, mo, don’t pay attention to any of that!
Because if you’re Black or Latino you’re supposed to vote Democrat and that it! Shut up and go away, until I need you again in 2, 4, or 6 years from now.
No, no, don’t think, just do!
