The Race Card

Recent comments by Hillary Clinton that civil rights legislation was finally gained under Lyndon B. Johnsons presidency , and omitting John F. Kennedys and Martin Luther King Jrs. roles in making this a reality have caused her considerable trouble with black voters . Currently senators Clinton and Obama are trying to reach some common ground and ease tension with black voters . I've always found it interesting that in any election either presidential , senatorial , or congressional the black vote seems to be the most important . If i can i'd like to make a statement that all of you probably already know , there are more races in this country than just black and white , and also people we elect to represent us should do just that , represent all of us . In this " land of entitlements " blacks i think have the least to complain about . Yet if you mention they're race in anything that they perceive as not" glowing terms " they're offended . Politicians understand this and try to court the black vote with promises of more entitlements . I'd like someone to explain to me why this one particular race of people must stand out before all others ? If you tell me it's because of the U.S. Civil War then don't even bother trying . That conflict has been over for the last one hundred forty three years . So no black alive today has first hand knowledge of those times . If you think it's because of inequality , then i say your reasoning is flawed . Thanks to the works of the NAACP blacks now have equal rights in this country and in some cases i think more rights than any other race of people . I invite you to write me and comment on it .
