I read the article through, but I'm not sure I understand what I'm supposed to call objectionable. I can only guess that you see this as a blatant "hey, vote for me cuz I'm black" moment, which in a way I guess it is. To be honest I'm a bit more inclined to find offense in Huckabee implying that SC should proudly fly the Southern Cross again... which is kind of a "hey, vote for me cuz I'm white" moment.

The race card is going to be played a lot because Obama has a strong chance of being the first black president, and because that's a very big deal. Perhaps I'd be more inclined to find this article offensive if I wasn't certain that millions of people will be voting against him because of the color of his skin.

At any rate, reverse racism is a myth. You can't have White Pride Parades without being branded a racist because white isn't a race. There are all sorts of gatherings that fill the same exact bill without being racist, you just have to figure out what heredity it is you want to celebrate. As a Scotsman I've got plenty, and anyone who calls me a racist for wearing my clan's kilt might want to reconsider how badly he wants to get in a fight with a drunken scotsman wearing a traditional kilt.
