In an earlier post you suggested that I extol Obama's qualities without running down Hillary. But for Billarys to play the race card, particularly when they were least expected to do so, it becomes very difficult to take your suggestion.

The scars in the African American community towards Billarys will take a long long time to heal, surely not if Hillary becomes the nominee with the racial and other kitchen sink tactics.
