Racist Democrats Fear Racial Divide

Well, it's about time. Considering how liberals are the biggest racists on the planet and conveniently play the race card any chance they get, it's good to see them get a little taste of their own medicine.

Sadly, the black vote will still overwhelmingly go their way this fall, but there's hope that some day that may change.

The protracted and increasingly acrimonious fight for the Democratic presidential nomination is unnerving core constituencies -- African Americans and wealthy liberals -- who are becoming convinced that the party could suffer irreversible harm if Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton maintains her sharp line of attack against Sen. Barack Obama.

Clinton's solid win in the Pennsylvania primary exposed a quandary for the party. Her backers may be convinced that only she can win the white, working-class voters that the Democratic nominee will need in the general election, but many African American leaders say a Clinton nomination -- handed to her by superdelegates -- would result in a disastrous breach with black voters.

Yes, we can't have that. Heaven knows what would happen if blacks left the Democrat plantation. Why, they might not be taken for granted any more.

"If this party is perceived by people as having gone into a back room somewhere and brokered a nominee, that would not be good for our party," House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn (S.C.), the highest ranking African American in Congress, warned yesterday. "I'm telling you, if this continues on its current course, [the damage] is going to be irreparable."
