RACE IS STILL A HOT-BUTTON ISSUE IN THE U.S….AT LEAST WHEN THERE’S POLITICAL ADVANTAGE IN IT…..
Recently, Geraldine Ferraro said that if Barack Obama were white, he wouldn’t be where he is, today…... I suppose that can be parsed a number of ways, but when I first heard the reports, it seemed to me like a reasonable way to look at things. Surely, part of the excitement about the man, beyond his considerable rhetorical skills, is the sense that he’s making history…..that there is a good chance that the Democrat party will nominate the first black man to represent a major party in a Presidential race. Isn’t that at least PART of his appeal?
So what is the big problem with this fact being mentioned?
