Barak Obama: Race doesn't make a difference?

Pat Buchanan's comments really hit the nail on the head. Obama is so obviously using his skin color, not his background, experience or upbringing to blatantly use the race card for his presidential campaign for the White House. He is an eloquent well spoken speaker which IMO is very much an example of his privileged white upbringing.

Pat Buchanan definitely nailed it. Affirmative action itself is racial prejudice and discrimination, which is supposedly what it was created to correct. You cannot correct discrimination by using discrimination, it just doesn't work like that. All it does is create an uneven playing field where one could reasonably assume that those who are covered under affirmative action would not be otherwise qualified in whatever capacity without it. Whether true or not, the idea that certain individuals needed special consideration to be accepted for either schooling or work related classifications would always be there ... that these individuals just didn't measure up without the special status. Yes, Obama is something of a racist, which is truly amazing since he basically grew up in Hawaii and was raised by his white grandparents. On top of that, his roots are Kenyan and Kansan, not African and Kansan. I do believe that Obama is very confused about who he is and what he stands for.
