Name ONE thing that Bill or Hillary Clinton has said that is racist. Just one thing. Please, let me know what they said.

If you can't than admit that Obama made it up.

"Name ONE thing that Bill or Hillary Clinton has said that is racist."

I gave you several examples of how they attempted to utilize racism -- focusing on Wright and Farrakhan, dismissing black voters, emphasizing their support among the white population as if it's somehow more meaningful than the support of other demographics.

I don't believe they are racists themselves, they merely try to utilize the racism of other people. That's probably worse.

Seems to me that every time race is brought up, 9 out of 10 times it's coming from the HRC side.

(1) Your question does not respond at all to the comment made above.

(2) It's simply false to claim that apart from black voters "large majorities" have voted against Obama.  Obama won a majority of all votes cast - even if you include Michigan and Florida.  There are a lot of others in there, too.

If the Clintons were seriously courting black voters, there were any number of things they could have done, but didn't.  Ultimately, though, they faced the obverse of Obama's problem - Af-Ams were very proud that one of their own was being seriously considered for the Presidency.  Someone wrote the other day that when he won Iowa, it was like she felt for the first time that she was a full citizen.  (Please, by the way, tell me how Obama's smears of the Clintons as racist helped him win Iowa.)

Black voters supported Obama on their very own.  Nobody controlled their minds and made them do it.
