my thoughts:
why would he? Being black was his whole propaganda in his first campaign. plus what more is there for African Americans(or him specifically) to achieve? they're not oppressed anymore. Hardly anyone hates black people just because the color of their skin nowadays(and even so, racism will continue till the end of time. theres nothing you can do about the few racists out there). black people are way beyond the point of trying to get social acceptance. the civil rights movement was like 50 years ago.
so Flood what do you think? Is using the racecard even relevant anymore? If so, how is it?

I am not a fan of Al but I can see some half truths in what he says. It wouldn't surprise me at all that some people elected are racist and just want to fight with Obama because he is black however I dont think it is to a degree that Al seems to think. I dont think he is saying to pull the race card but rather confront the issue and bring it to light. Though Al should already know that it would mean political suicide if Obama went around pointing fingers without solid proof.
