Got to give it up

How much longer do we have to deal with this?

As quoted in a story in USA Today today, today, today, Hillary Clinton makes her case to superdelegates with this argument:

"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."

It doesn't take an English degree to deconstruct what she's saying here: White people vote for me. Uneducated, white people not quite ready to vote for a black man for President vote for me. That's who matters. Because black people are just black. They're certainly not hardworking and their votes shouldn't count as much as an uneducated white person's.

This Clinton argument hinges on the assumption that if the superdelegates snatch the nomination away from Barack and make her the nominee, black voters will happily return to the polls in November to vote for her.

I don't think that will be the case. In fact, it would spark the long-awaited second American Revolution.

Guess what side all the other educated white folks and I will be on?
