Maybe the Obama's should have been more careful with their associations and of what they said so that Rove and Cheney wouldn't have anything to get their hands on.

Someone we have left out of the discussion - Uncle Rev. Wright. Prehaps HE is the one that either got the tape or leaked the rumor. Considering the fall out he and Obama have (allegedly) had ... if he's sour grapes enough then he could bring Obama down.

When individuals of a racial group get together it is common practice for them to refer to other races in the vernacular. It does not mean they are racist. Blacks use the N-word frequently when referring to other Blacks and the W-word when referring to Whites. This does not make them racist. It's the context in which the words are used that is important and also the public stature of the individual making the remarks.

Wow, the political process in action. Smear, the way of today. I have no ownership in this election but the process is making me puke. Nothing about issues, just GET THE DIRT!!!!! Anyone that votes because of tripe like this get the government they deserve.

All I'm really trying to say is that rather than talk about and confront him on real issues, (which I would applaud any conflict that was well founded in fact and had real value) Americans, especially those who run the media in this country, have torn him apart on petty little issues that have no relevance.

Lets just imagine that Cindy McCain or Hillary Clinton wrote the following in thesis at an Ivy League University.
“Earlier in my college career, there is no doubt in my mind that as a member of the White community I was somehow obligated to this community and would utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit this community first and foremost. My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my “Whiteness” than ever before."
“With the increasing integration of Blacks into the mainstream society, many ‘integrated whites’ have lost touch with the White culture in their attempts to become adjusted and comfortable in their new culture—the Black culture. Some of these Whites are no longer able to enjoy the qualities which make White culture so unique or are unable to openly share their culture with other Whites because they have become so far removed from these experiences and, in some instances, ashamed of them as a result of their integration.”

Ah now you're calling me naiive. Come on now. From the start I was skeptical of the Obama campaign. I do believe out of the 3 'choices' we have as Americans, he is the best one.
That does not mean I'm groveling at his feet or lining up to polish his balls. No way.
One has to wonder what the motivation is behind a racism tape that Karl Rove has obtained.
He is election-rigger extraordinaire. Why should I believe a word that comes out his mouth?
P.S. Hell is merely a state of mind. The ignorant and hateful find their way there every day.

I wish I could give you a thousand stars, well put,
I am tired of being called a racist because I don't think Obama is honest, to put it lightly,
I don't like any politician, so I don't know who I would vote for.

I am no racist, but certainly a realist. If we can't talk about this subject openly and honestly how can we expect relationships between the two communities to really ever evolve?

The pendulem has swung from one extreme to the other, and it isn't going to stop anytime soon. How long will people put up with this new extreme, that is the question. What will happen when they get tired of it?
I don't think it will get better (assuming thats what you mean by evolve) as much as it will become a secondary issue as the demographics of the country change.
