Why does a black presidential candidate need image (or in this case, language) approval from the white power elite?
They're the ones with the racial mindset... they see black first, then they see a man, then they see articulate.

Is that how you see it? Then you're the racial mindset.
What bedin said is The truth Obama is the first African american PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE to be all those nice things. To deny that is to burry your head in the sand. he's calling obama the total package.
The only one comming up with Adjectives for blacks like militant inarticulate jungle bunnies, Is you.
I'm not denying that what bedin said is not Ambiguous.
infact, I've pointed out how it is. however bedin, Isn't my argument and never was. Bush was.
You started off in this thread not worried about racial mindsets, Then all of a sudden started seeing black and white. And You're comments could be considered backhanded slaps at the white man.
Vernon Robinson is a black man who CLEARLY uses race against white opponents in his politics. yet the media doesn't care. it's seen as the norm.
What we have here with bedin is a Media mainfatured gaffe.
