Hispanics and Blacks

Mayor Sam reports that the Mexican American Political Association endorsed Obama. *clap*

So, I guess all that crap about Latinos not voting black was, well, crap.

President Nativo Lopez said this in his statement:

"We have observed with utter disgust the use of racially divisive and polarizing tactics employed by the Clintons, both Hillary and Bill, against Senator Barack Obama, not the first presidential candidate of African American origin. This is something that we would have expected from Republican candidates, but instead it surfaced from the bowels of the center-right institutional currents of the Democratic Party. The tactics are absolutely deplorable and clearly demonstrate what the Clintons think of all people of color."

I'm not sure I agree with his view of the situation entirely, but I was sick of hearing about how minorities always vote for thier own minorities. It's nice to see a little disagreement. It's almost like we can think for ourselves.

On a related note, the Clintons were suppose to campaign in South Central, but the black churches said no. It seems they're kind of pissed about the Clinton's use of race in bashing Obama. Hmm...

And, as everyone got worked up about the 'person who called clinton the first black president endorsing obama', why don't we try to remember what she meant when she said that. It certainly wasn't a compliment.
