If he were about conservative economics, a strong military, traditional market reforms in terms of health care, he would transcend race and it would not be about race. But Obama confirms what white trash fear about black politics, so he will touch that chord more resonantly than a non-traditional black politician.

However, my definition of racist may be different than yours. Having been called a racist before because of just an opinion I had, I find the term gets thrown around loosely. Using your definition for a racist, I have no argument with what you said. |

So actually it was 1.6 out of 10 that were admitted racists. Surely you don't consider the 20% of white voters who voted on race and voted for Obama as racists.

Even then he would not transcend race. He would just be and "Uncle Tom". It is currently impossible for any black man to transcend race in our country IMHO. Maybe someday. I hope and pray someday.
