At least Obama was trying, in his speech, to start a dialogue about the black elephant in the room. And that's more than any white politician has done.

Ferraro is not racist but the fact that she doesn't understand what the term "racism" means highlights why it is a massive problem in America.

What Geraldine Ferarro said about Obama isn't entirely without merit -- it just entirely misses the fact that there hasn't been a candidate in our lifetimes that didn't benefit from a certain appeal due to their height, wealth, race, name, faith or smile.

When Ferraro was named the Vice-Presidential candidate in 1984, the national reaction was: "Geraldine Who"? Does anyone really believe that this Democratic Party water-carrier was put on a national ticket for anything other than her lack of a Y chromosome?
