Comments on: Is Clinton Playing the Race Card? http://blacksmythe.com/blog/2008/08/05/is-clinton-playing-the-race-card/ The Future is Here Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:26:42 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Mark http://blacksmythe.com/blog/2008/08/05/is-clinton-playing-the-race-card/comment-page-1/#comment-21727 Mark Thu, 07 Aug 2008 10:32:22 +0000 http://blacksmythe.com/blog/?p=490#comment-21727 I doubt he's actually racist, but that doesn't mean he isn't a politician through and through. I find in many ways that Obama is following the same strategy: going after the soft, easy targets ("deadbeat dads" + "personal responsibility" lately) while dodging the fundamental economic and political issues that underpin most of the problems that blacks face. Every once in awhile, he'll drop something in about revitalizing inner cities with federal money, but he has yet to make any real policy declarations, and given the disastrous state of the annual federal budget, it's hard not to see it as any more than wishful thinking. We can thank Iraq for that. Talk about unintended consequences... I doubt he's actually racist, but that doesn't mean he isn't a politician through and through.
