What Did He Do to be So Black and Blue? Obama and the Race Card

It's worth me saying that is one of the most impressive, important, and thoughtful articles I have read on this presidential election cycle so far. Race IS an issue, and its importance only escalates the more people (black and white) deny that it is an issue to them. I'm sorry, but none of us are colorblind. We just aren't there yet. I think that is the Obama's speech on race in Philadelphia after the Wright fiasco.



But affirmative action a wedge issue? Brilliant. I should have thought of it. Personally as a black man, I hope affirmative action and other such programs are repealed so that we can really see how far we haven't come. So we could see how colorblind and genderblind we really are not. We must be honest with ourselves at least about our stereotypes and subconscious reactions before we can truly move forward.
