Chris Matthews had Senator Obama on Hardball tonight. Matthews asked Obama what it was like to be a black kid with a white mother. It reminded me of a comment that Ted Koppel made on ABC's Nightline- that race is a social construct designed to create a support a heirarchy based on skin color. The mixing of White with anything nonwhite is viewed as contamination. It means a White woman can bear a black child, but a Black woman can never bear a white child.
While Obama took on addressing the issue of race and trying to make a case for the anger felt by both Whites and Blacks, our boy Pat Buchanan proved Obama was so right- in a most ironic way. You can read Pat's screed here.
