Musings

I have been thinking recently about what will happen when Obama gets the nomination - what will be the line of attack by both Republicans and Democrats against him? (let's be honest, all those HRC supporters are already lining up behind McCain - sour grapes if you ask me.)

The line of attack will not be aimed at Obama, but rather at his wife. Black women have been the lighting rod for race and sex in this country for over 300 years. Its going to get ugly as they use every stereotype in the book to discredit her, then thereby discredit him. And all those lily-white women who are claiming sexism re: HRC - what are they going to do? Will they follow through with their feminist proclamations and demand that sexism and misogyny truly need to stop? OR will they turn a blind eye, and believe that feminism is only for white women? They will think that Michelle isn't one of them, simply because of her race. Oh, its going to get ugly.
