Some Democrats fear 'racial divide' from continuing primary

Who exactly is fearing this 'racial divide' if the primary continues as it has?

African Americans and wealthy liberals.

You know, Obama's main supporters.

"We keep talking as if it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter that Obama gets 92 percent of the black vote, because since he only got 35 percent of the white vote, he's in trouble," James E. Clyburn (House Majority Whip) said. "Well, Hillary Clinton only got 8 percent of the black vote. . . . It's almost saying black people don't matter. The only thing that matters is how white people respond. And that's what bothered me. I think I matter."

White-----------------------237,854,954----80.2%
Hispanic or Latino-------------42,687,224----14.4%
Black or African American------37,909,341----12.8%

I don't know, Jimmy, you tell me what group matters more in the general election.

So is it racist to consider that the wider general population of the US is vastly white? Apparently it's only racist to consider that Hillary is losing the black vote, not that Obama is losing the white vote.

"I think she is destroying the Democratic Party," said New York lawyer Daniel Berger, who had backed Clinton with the maximum allowable donation of $2,300. "That there's no way for her to win this election except by destroying [Obama], I just don't like it. So in my own little way, I'm trying to send her a message."

There is also no way for Obama to win this election, you simpering little man child. Neither candidate can get the required fucking delegates, but because Hillary is behind by a few lousy percentage points, it's her that's out to destroy the party instead of Obama.

Apparently the Democrats, mainly blacks and wealth liberals, are just now realizing something that the larger population has always known; race still fucking matters!

It could matter in a good way or it could matter in a bad way. In fact, it matters both ways, right now, today, in this campaign. How about we have a fucking conversation on this reality instead of blaming the white candidate?

Heh, black people are voting for Obama in the 90% range, and yet, somehow, to them and only them, race doesn't matter. A 9 to 1 black voting margin for Obama isn't racial, but Hillary pointing it out in context to the general election is? A majority if blacks voting for a black candidate isn't racist, but a majority of whites voting for a white candidate is.

So let's remember the new ground rules for Democratic primaries;
Black people voting for black candidates in massive majorities is *not* racist, but white people voting for white candidates on a smaller but still significant majority *is* racist.

Maybe someone forgot to send out the memo.
