PARADOX: MSM makes Obama win a BACKWARD step for race Relations in U.S.

Trust the MSM to cut off their nose to spite their face.

One thing that I came away with last night, especially in the CNN post win coverage, was a sense that they were elevating 'The new face of America' at the expense of the 'old'

They even went so far as to say that Joe the Plumber isn't the face of America anymore, (white) and that McCain made the mistake of thinking that he was. The joe the plumber surge was never about race, it was about the middle class, taxation and the battle between the ideology of socialism and capitalism.

Didn't they get the message when the black Jamaican woman and Tito the Builder shouted 'I am Joe The Plumber' to the press at one of McCain's rallies? The impression given was that 'white people are losing power' and they'd better learn to live with it.

As a black viewer I felt a chill go up my spine as I visualized the reactions of the white supremacist communities, as well as any 'typical white person' who may feel they are being marginalized, to that spin.

I would bet any amount of money that those groups are going to see a surge in membership, and we may have an escalation in hate crimes. Not because Obama won, but because the media wants to twist the knife into one community to lift up another.

Why can't we all just be Americans? I hope that Obama is able to build those bridges across party and race that he promised, or we could be in for a bumpy ride.  :|

On another note, if the Right wants to survive and have an active role in government in the future, it HAS to find a way to package conservatism in a manner that is attractive to our minority communities. That will begin by demonstrating to them that we want them to have a place at our table.

A good place to start, Michael Steele for RNC chair. Who better to plan how to harvest the minority vote for future elections, than one of their own community, and one with an outstanding conservative record as well.

Conservatism is not the ideology of old white men. It brings prosperity and opportunity for ALL, as Tito and Joe so eloquently pointed out.

Now we have to make the case.
