That is exactly my premise. Like it or not, America is Balkanizing. It's a slow process, but it's inexorable. He should be punished for it for the sake of consistancy when you consider all the guilt that the media and the left heap on whites who had nothing to do with any evil of the past, and excuse bad behavior by blacks who never suffered any evil of the past. In an interview a few days ago, Obama described his grandmother as "a typical white woman" who has racism bred into her.

Try to imagine the hell from above that would descend on a white republican who ever said "a typical black person" in any context.

White people don't get called on the carpet because of their race because their whiteness is a societal NORM! They pander to ethnic groups because they need their votes, yes, but they are not specifically questioned regarding their whiteness. To hold Obama in a different light because he IS being specifically questioned regarding his blackness is absolutely ridiculous.

Before November, highly placed members of the political, newsmedia, and entertainment fields will be suggesting that anyone who votes for McCain must be a racist, and those comments will be widely broadcast.\

But we can't pretend that the only people that white politicians pander to are black. Hispanics operate in much the same way and face many of the same problems. This article doesn't talk about that, but it is still true. Of course, Hispanics weren't enslaved by this country, so its harder to toss it aside as the whinings of a people bent on remembering the past. We as observers just ignore it instead.

Do you live in a cave? That's one of the biggest problems McCain has. He wants to throw open the gates to Mexico, and he doesn't care what the majority of the American people, democrat and republican, think about it. He's not alone in that.
