Major media outlets! Listen up, no more do we wish to hear about racial bullcrap like "are you black enough". It offers nothing productive or positive to progressing from the roots of America's race problem. We are trying to dissolve the divisions between our citizens and you are just knocking us back ten feet with every inch we gain. STOP!

What a phony race-**** Hillary is!

It's funny to hear her throw barbs at Republicans because they don't have a black candidate in the primaries. How many blacks held lofty cabinet positions during her husbands administration? None!

She wants us to think the Democratic Party is so sympathetic to blacks because they tolerate a black in the primary process for appearances' sake.

SHE didn't put Obama on the stage with her. Obama did. She deserves no credit.

Hillary Clinton may not be Black enough... and Obama probably is not woman enough... but when it comes to Edwards... well... let's just say he's not black enough either... but I think he has that woman thing covered.

...the problem is not a "moral crisis but an economic crisis,"... No one who believes the problems of the black community (or the white community) are not moral problems will never have a viable solution.

They've been busing black kids to 50 years to "better" schools and there's no proof it's done any good but they still keep doing it.Now diversity is the excuse and the SC threw that out.

It takes a "white" village to raise a child?

Don't you have editors or did she actually say this?

Every time Hillarsaurus opens her yap, she's either lying, or pandering, often blending the two like an oderous puree of cow dung. She'll be president about the time science has found a cure for Peyronie's disease, which will be sometime after he finds himself immune to Viagra.

CNN has sunk to an all-time low. Black enough? Can you imagine anyone asking "are you white enough" Why is it liberals always bring up race? I thought we were supposed to be color blind?

It is wearisome that so much attention is given to the race issue as if politicians could go something positive about it. Democrat Lyndon Johnson spent trillions of dollars that found their way into inner cities and the cities got worse- a welfare ethic grew that had not been there before. The fact that 70% of black children are born without knowing who their fathers are is not a political issue. Only changing the culture blacks live in can do that. Black illegitimacy before the 1960's approximated that of whites. It is no coincidence that 70% blacks in prison were born illegitimate. The liberals temptation is to buy votes by promising to pour billions of dollars into black communites. No thanks, we've been there.

thanks to white liberals like hillary clinton and her ilk, the black community is in a shambles, ms clinton didnt send her daughter to inferior public schools, in spite of union support, and her daughter didnt have her future stolen from her by a inferior education. Until blacks stop letting white liberal democrats treat them as pets, as children, and stand up for themselves things in the black community will continue to get worse, killings, unemployment, crime, etc, etc. I have been hearing white liberals give blacks advice for the last 50 years, the only blacks who are getting ahead are those who sold their freedom to white liberal democrats and their shills in the media

What a joke! Isn't it enough for blacks to be AMERICANS finally?!?!?!? This incessant social separation of "I'm AFRICAN american" or "BLACK america" is what is keeping the rest of the country from taking them seriously. Well, that and of course the ridiculous illigitimacy rates, crime and incarceration statistics and social tailspin blacks have allowed themselves to endure. Black people need look no further than Bill Cosby to see that you can speak proper English, hold legitimate employment and assimilate into a community and still have black skin.
