Entry: "Transcending Race" is a Good Way to Get the Black Vote Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/transcending_race_can_get_you_the_black_vote#15918 Post contents: I, first of all, really like the picture of Hitchens with the beer in his hand--it so sums up the man. I agree with many of the points made in the post, but I frankly think the white liberals might be right that if Obama gets to the presidency it will significantly improve race relations. For better or worse, an Obama presidency will be viewed as a big milestone in race relations at home and abroad..Moreover, how easy will it be for a race hustler like say Al Sharpton to scream about "white racism" when Obama holds the highest office in the land? I agree Obama probably will be immune from criticism from white liberals, but I don't see white, brown, yellow, black, or red rightwingers being inhibited at all. In fact, the right has been taking shots at Obama all along in his presidential race (including the above post).This will continue and expand undoubtedly if Obama is the Democratic nominee--and certainly if Obama gains the presidency.
