A Brown Ticket

There has been much debate about a Obama Hillary ticket or with the recent endorsement of Edwards an Obama Edwards ticket. Some speculate a Obama-Rendell ticket (the Governor of Pennsylvania)(who could pull in the blue collar Reagan Dems) But what about an Obama Richardson ticket. Bill Richardson is the Governor of New Mexico, a western state that could help Obama win the crucial states of Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado. Richardson also has plenty of foreign policy experience. But that ticket would be pretty brown in an electorate and pundits analyzing votes based on skin pigmentation...

Still No Justice
In 2002, there was a study by a University of Chicago Professor which showed that police officers "were quicker to decide not to shoot an unarmed white suspect than an unarmed black suspect and slower to decide to shoot an armed white suspect than an armed black suspect." In a Google search we could not find a shooting by the police of an unarmed white suspect...

The truth is Americans can not have an honest dialogue about race because most Ameicans are ignorant of true American history and the history of western civilization of the last 500 years.

Obama's A More Perfect Union

Pretty good speech on race in America. The lack of historical context for many Americans is one of the reasons racism persists in the United States. The point he makes about white resentment specifically to those who are of immigrant background and who see no privilege in being white is excellent.

There are a few questions that remain after several months of democratic primaries. Here are a few:
Will Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton bruise each other to the point that John McCain cakewalks into the White House? This remains to be seen but Hillary's now infamous 3am ad does not help Obama if he is the democratic nominee. Any question regarding the democratic nominee's fitness for the office should be off limits to the two candidates but now Obama having lost Texas and Ohio will be forced to respond and vet Hillary a bit in what will likely be a negative Pennsylvania primary...

Would America Elect a Black President?
According to exit polls, eighteen percent of white Ohio voters indicated that race was an important factor in their decision, and of that group, seventy-five percent voted for Hillary. Though this number is not huge it is indicative. These voters are democratic voters and in a close election with a republican with an alleged independent streak, if these voters go for the white guy, mainly because he's white, he's going to win the election. This is a problem for Obama and he's going to have to confront this issue head on. Discuss the economic issues that concern working poor white Americans, who lean democratic.

Black History Lives On BlackState.com
In 1926, Carter G. Woodson founded Negro History Week, which was to raiseawareness to the contributions of people of African descent made to worldhistory. It was observed in black schools, churches and YMCAs around thecountry. But over the decades, Woodson's idea has blossomed into a celebrationof African-American culture that became Black History Month in 1976 to coincidewith the nation's bicentennial. Black history month is now being celebrated bydiverse communities in the United States and throughout the world. Woodson believed that historians had whitewashed the contributions blacks havemade to the world. His idea was that Negro History Week and, later, BlackHistory Month -- would revise what we know about the world we live inadvocating similar arguments that proponents of African-centered education saytoday.
