Re: NY Times OP/Ed

But we believe just as strongly that Mrs. Clinton will be making a terrible mistake — for herself, her party and for the nation — if she continues to press her candidacy through negative campaigning with disturbing racial undertones.- NYT editorial

This is what is so disturbing about the Hillary campaign tactics of race baiting. Senator Clinton is not creating dialogue from which understanding and movement forward comes but creates racial divides from the prism of an economic zero non sum game.

Reading the code words of "hard working" for whites but implies the negative stereotyping of "lazy" for Afro-Americans.

Is the national electoral process going to play to the Southern strategies of failed Republican party politics?

It seems to me that the speech that Senator Obama gave a few short weeks ago is...long forgotten.

"White Americans"?
Here's the quote Hillary Clinton gave today that's got everyone talking:
"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."


Not unexpectedly, that quote has received a sharp response from blogs. What do you think? What should we make of that comment?
