Acting White: Barack The Magic Negro

I was not surprised when I saw that one of the RNC leadership candidates was sending around a CD with a song carrying this title. I’m not really offended, as I have come to expect the ‘sour-race-grapes’ out-pouring after the election. Poor losing has become part of American culture, so why should now be any different. I’m sure Bush supporters can point to the same behavior by Democrats in 2004.

Nevertheless, it is interesting how people stick to strategies, when the losing result is obvious. There are plenty of reasons to dislike or disagree with Obama (as with any politician), but after his election, race just does not seem to be a good choice. The race card is tired, and needs a holiday. But some people will insist, knowing no other option.

I would like to see the Republicans clean up their act and broaden their appeal; lest politics becomes a single-horse race. Forget the lunatic fringe, it’s all about who holds the middle. Some Republicans recognize this, many do not. We can only watch to see who comes around and how long it takes.

Meanwhile, Obama has a job to do and no time to concern himself with this B.S.
