So after all the attacks on the experience Obama lacks, we'd choose Sowell, Williams, or Cosby?
I don't think you are a racist ican, but you seem to think that either racists don't exist, or that race isn't being used against Obama. I've witnessed both in modern day, and neither are irrelevant.
You're pretending like Obama's politics aren't being discussed. They are being discussed, thoroughly. I've heard plenty about this. The title is about the fear of a black president, and as illustrated, many people do have this fear.

I call BS.
The Republican sound byte politic attack dog does nothing but attack Obama if he softens on a particular issue or moves to the center. Ever since the creation of the "flip-flop" meme, the republicans have seriously crippled ALL politicians in their ability to be flexible on their stances.
Barrack is NOT the first black candidate, he is the first who will make it to the voting booth. His platform IS why he is in the lead, not his skin. You may hate his platform, but I've seen your politics, and your distaste reeks of partisan loyalty, so I'm not really moved.
