Howard Dean's white world

[question everything]

http://www.pe.com/localnews/opinion/editorials/stories/PE_OpEd_Opinion_op_26_shapiro.eabd.html

Dean's a lily-white guy from a lily-white state. If he can't win in lily-white Iowa (2.1 percent black), how can Dean expect to win in the far more crucial Southern primaries?

Howard Dean has a major race problem on his hands. He is from the benevolent white liberal school of thought: Back affirmative action and anti-racism bills, but keep those blacks out of my face. For Howard Dean, blacks and browns are interesting to watch as a social experiment. Literally.

In college, he specifically requested a black roommate, wanting to learn what black people were.

(snip)

Dean's favorite movie? The Warren Beatty-Halle Berry vehicle "Bulworth," about white California Democratic U.S. Sen. Jay Billington Bulworth running for his final Senate term. He decides to stop campaigning on a conservative platform and begins "speaking the truth" on social issues, especially regarding race. He "gets down" with the "brothas," learns to rap, smokes marijuana and makes out with gangsta Halle Berry.

1. Dean said his favorite movie was A Beautiful Mind

I don't agree with his taste, but i have never read anywhere that Bulworth was his favorite movie. There is a good article about Dean and the movie Bulworth up here at the moment I suggest everyone read it.

Just because Dean didn't have a black cabinet member doesn't mean that he never asked a black person to be on his cabinet. He asked a black lawyer who refused the offer.

This whole Dean is a racist stuff is bull shit. Apparently supporters from some other camp called plenty of folks right before the caucuses and was spreading the rumor that Dean is a racist.

Look Dean's platforms will help every American regardless. You should go read his site and tell me that if he did things on a national scale, how he did them in Vermont, how is it possible for the policies to be implemented racially, good public schools and healthcare help EVERYBODY.

2. So no one who ever comes from a "lily white" district need apply?

This is just a little more divide and conquer from the neo-cons.

Treat them like a toddler having a tantrum; if you ignore them, they usually quit.
