An Observation

They used to call Bill Clinton the 1st black president. He and his wife Hillary did a lot for the minorities and the under dogs. Now Bill and Hillary are too white for the blacks. Barak Obama, who was not black enough sometime back (born of a white mother and a Kenyan father), is adequately black and blacks are voting for him lock, stock, and barrel (80%+) in the primaries. It appears that whites are more color blind today, although some white males seem to have a gender issue on hand. It also appears that Hispanics and Blacks do not quite trust each other and are fighting for political clout. I wonder who is playing the race card and who is fighting for gender equality. Obviously, there is a generational issue as well and young Barak benefits from that.
