I've seen here what is also going on with the mainstream media - nobody can criticize Obama, because he's black. Is that what will happen if he's elected president? No criticism allowed, or get hit with a race card?

I remember Hillary getting slammed for this but can't remember the details. Could you give any examples of what you're referring to?

I don't feel particular cowed by Obama's skin color. Do you?

I have no quams of criticising Obama's policies. Race is irrelevant. Blade had to make something of Race. If your against Affirmative Action then surely you would congratulate Obama on getting through that system.

You post a thread titled "Obama's Free Black Pass", and then wonder why people discuss race in it?

You haven't been quite the same since Romney got knifed....

Your confusing the the thrust of the thread.

Reset.

- The washington post pointed out how the media was treating Obama very delicately.

- I pointed out how my criticisms of Obama invariable result in charges of racism.

- The issue is whether critics of Obama will be stifled, or attempt to be stifled, by the well known "race card" tactic.

Comment on the issue raised, or shut up.

Yes you had to make something of Race.

I'm not applauding the Media for making it about Race. There goes what again exactly?

Duh summed it up nicely in that thread. The article had nothing to do with race, never even *mentioned* race. So your thread title is what injected race into the debate.
