I am not sure what even to write. I am just paralyzed with words because I have never heard of a Presidential candidate ever boast that they should be the President of the United States based on their supporter's skin color.

As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me." "There's a pattern emerging here," she said.

At this point, it is not about when this campaign is over, it is about the effect that her campaign is having on the future of this country. To reinforce racial bigotry is just wrong.

Clinton's blunt remarks about race came a day after primaries in Indiana and North Carolina dealt symbolic and mathematical blows to her White House ambitions. The Obama campaign, looking toward locking up the nomination, stepped up pressure on superdelegates who have the decisive votes in their race.

This is the message that Clinton wants the world to see. She is proud about the fact that she is receiving so much white support and for this reason she is the better candidate. How can anyone want to be in support of a statement like this. I cannot even express my anger, outrage, disgust. It is a sad day in America.
