The rest of the world aside, we like to think that America has at least made an effort to respect equal rights.
Billjpa's comment makes me angry; simply because I grudgingly agree.

As usual, AngryBlackBitch has a good comment on Bill C's use of race card

If you think your angry then let me tellya- I am so pissed that I couldn't sleep last night as the results came in.ANGRY-For over 50 years, I have been fighting the good fight. AND I will continue to do so. BUT- ANGRY- Maybe if there was alot more angery folks out there, there might not be a racist problem. And, for whoever posted re the fact that there are alot of other racist countries across the world- Big fucking deal. Bad argument. That's the justification for all of the horrors that are taking place out there.

I had trouble sleeping last night too. I think it had something to do with the super nachos and all the onions in the salsa that gave me a little dispepsia, but seeing a gleeful Pat Buchanan getting all jiggy (or jiggily) that old white people were voting against a black man didn't sit well either.

So Clinton has to get around 70% of the votes the rest of the way. That would require her to get a 40% separation between her and Obama in EVERY race. She got what, an eight and a half percent final separation in Pennsylvania?

As discouraging as the racism and the Clinton Republican talking points are, and as disillusioning and damaging as her Bataan Death March has been to the Democratic Party, she is surely eliminating herself from ever running for President again. Consider this her farewell tour.

This old broad woke up this morning taking a 2nd look at Cynthia McKinney I was so pissed. And I kept remembering my conversation with one of my state's SuperDels last Saturday where he said he wasn't declaring until he was on the down glide path flying into Denver for Convention.
