I find it all very sad that in this day and age the American public still tries to find every excuse possible to avoid electing a person of color as president. May I remind the readers that the only reason that we are having these discussions about Mr. Obama is because of a racist law that has yet to be repealed in this country. A law that states if a person has one drop of African American blood in them then they are automatically black. This is not the case for any other race but African Americans. This is a law that was enacted in the nineteenth century to protect white slave owners who were frequently known to foster illegitimate children with their slaves; i.e. Thomas Jefferson. It seems the question that we should be asking is; why is it that a message preached by Mr. Obamas former pastor SEVEN years ago all of the sudden an important issue. Surely if it is that important someone should have brought this up at the beginning of his candidacy. Why is it that all of a sudden when Mrs. Clinton is worried about losing the nomination that this seven year old sermon resurfaces? The sermon has been available for public purchase for seven years. Maybe it is because she never thought that this “black” candidate would give her a run for her money.
