Obamites are now claiming Obama is losing PA due to racism. Ed Rendell anyone?

They vilified Rendell for saying what they are now saying themselves. They owe Rendell and apology. Rendell isn't a racist. How knows full well there are bigots in PA since he had to close an office because neo-Nazi's kept threatening his staff because they were supporting a Jewish candidate.

P.S. I post a lot of threads. If I go overboard feel free to pm me. I don't want to hijack the board. I think these issues are relevant. :hi:

1. Obama has made a mistake...

with his unity and change platform, he
should have run as the first bi-racial
American, not the first African-American.
That will be the one biggest mistakes he
made in my opinion. Not promoting the
unity of them in himself makes him seem a
bigot and a hypocrite. Especially with
all the press his preacher is getting.

A man that preaches unity but becomes
perturbed when refered to as bi-racial?
No unity in himself? Can he not reconcile
his own races within himself? Why does he
not embrace and accept his white half as
readily as he does his African-American half?
By questioning that, I will be called racist
by any of his supporters but, I feel it is
a valid point to make. Obama may identify
himself as African-American but he is not,
he is bi-racial.

2. Race has been a factor

all along, but so has sexism, and anyone with an ounce of common sense knows it. 90+% of blacks voted for Obama in Mississippi and 70+% of whites voted for Hillary. It's a fact and no glossing over that fact is going to change anything.

My take on it is that Bill Clinton, who thought he was helping his wife, actually hurt her when he mentioned Jesse Jackson in his speech right before the S.C. elections. Bill and Hillary aren't racists but this afforded the Obama campaign the opportunity to claim that the Clintons were marginalizing Obama by mentioning that Jackson also won in S.C. That, and the "fairy tale" comment which had nothing to do with Obama's candidacy but referred to his stand on the Iraq war, was exaggerated and blown out of proportion by Obama's campaign and, of course, fueled by the endless bias of the media.

I'm praying that Hillary wins PA and I don't care what the Obamites say. Keep posting, PLEASE, because I'm a nervous wreck and I'm sooooo mad! I just hope I can hold it together. At least I know there are others that feel like I do.
