The comments to Mr. Atkins' excellent post are spinning this the other way. Naturally.

RJ: Well, it is Philadelphia. Maybe the Inquirer just figured that printing the article would boost web traffic.

True, Paco. I simply was struck by the intensity of the desire to keep racism alive and well.

Of course, as you say, it is Philadelphia, where brotherly love ain't.

TW: blend. Seriously. But I think the message is for the racists in Philly.

I'm simply counting time until African-Americans start complaining that Obama is half-white, after all, and not even a real African-American anyway, because his daddy was from Africa, not the plantation. Race baiting and victimology are hard habits to break.

However, most whites aren't likely to buy into it anymore.
