Campaign 2008 & Racism

When this presidential election is over with we will either have put racial politics in the trash can or created an even more formidable racial divide. Not satisfied with having gotten us into a debilitating conflict in Iraq, the conservative right is determined to get us into a debilitating racial conflict by making Obama's color a major issue in this campaign. Then we have McCain who in a not too subtle way encourages this ploy. The world will be watching to see if indeed we are a great democracy.
