It is really interesting to see the reaction of Obama side to Clinton getting a majority of the Latino votes.
It doesn't bother them Obama getting African-American votes which is at least 50% based on race, considering the popularity of the Clintons among black voters. I don't see Obama going out and telling the African Americans get rid of your prejudices and vote only based on the candidates abilities. He cannot. He cannot lose a freely accessible pool like that.
That is why he didn't actually do a lot to prevent the race issue being brought into discussion. I am sure he was assuming, the reaction among whites will be two-sided: to oppose the black voters voting for Obama because of race, and to prevent the discussion of whites being racist by showing unwarranted support for Obama.
Now, the Obama camp is going out and saying Latinos did not favor Obama because he is black. Interesting isn't it? This way, they will try to get pity votes for Obama from the Latinos.
You know, the white people are criticized for being racist. I wonder which side is the most proper representation of this word right now, in United States...The ones who are using their skin color as an advantage by exploiting the past and current weaknesses in human psychology or the ones who do not want that to happen...Decide for yourself.

Dear Crimson Prince,
This was so well said. I wish that I could have had something like this up on my blog....too.
This was EXACTLY how I see things too. In the last few days, I have taken alot of heat from email friends of The Barack Obama' camp.
Sincerely,
