Race-isms

I am annoyed.  At Hillary Clinton, yes, but more at the world.  I am so sad that there is latent racism that could stop Barack Obama in his tracks.  I read an article today that relayed information that saddened me, that a headquarters received bomb threats, that someone said "Hang the darky from a tree" and numerous other terrible remarks.

What upsets me the most is that it seems as though the media, the Clinton Campaign, are actually considering the idea that if Obama can't win people who won't vote for him because he's black, well then he shouldn't be the nominee.  Um, what?  There is a moral high ground that needs to be taken here.  Hillary should take it.  Rather than embracing her supporters who are racists, she needs to tell them they are wrong, and that there is no place for racism in the USA anymore.  I'm not so naive as to think that racism can be obliterated in one fell swoop - but I do think that more than anyone, the Democratic Party leadership needs to be the leaders in saying YES WE CAN get rid of this division.  It hurts so bad that Hillary is playing to racists undertones rather than out and out denouncing them.  She could help change the world. Right now, and she would be a more powerful woman for doing that.  But she's not.  And that is really really sad.
