The Return Of The Race Card

I am switching between news channels watching the usual suspects spew the same spin and revisionist history to characterize Sen. Clinton's victory in Pennsylvania as another great triumph. I must admit I'm impressed by some of the gymnastics involved in characterizing a 20% lead which evaporated into a probable 8% win as a great victory. This would be a rather routine night of sophistry if it weren't for the "first" Black president re-emerging with the good old reliable race-card.

In every adverse situation we see that the Clinton's are willing to stoop to any level to achieve their goals while simultaneously claiming victim status. This phenomenon couldn't be better illustrated than having Bill Clinton claim that the Obama camp "played the race-card" in South Carolina in order to win that primary. Now after a good bit of laughter I realized that by claiming victim status once again the Clintons are clearly planning to racebait voters in North Carolina in an attempt to win that race. What is a real point of interest for me now is how Bill and Hillary will claim that Whites are being disenfranchised in North Carolina without removing the last vestiges of Black support they have.

Watching the Clinton legacy transform and diminish by the minute is truly a spectacle to behold. The "First Black President" and by Clinton logic the first Black female co-President are headed toward becoming pariahs in a community which embraced them as their own. When this race is over and the Clintons having played every race card in the deck return to NY as losers, I can't wait to see how the Black community embraces them then.
