Not only does the equation between Obama / Spears and Hilton seek to threaten Obama's "masculinity" and mandated heterosexuality. Perhaps these pairings also elicit America's fears about the sexual desire shared between black men and white women. We wouldn't want to create any more of those underhanded mulattoes now, would we?Wonderful job Hodge! Those Currier and Ives' prints are so rich and relevant. And great job in reading between the lines re: Woodrow Wilson and DW Griffith. Thanks for your perspectives. I agree with Adam Thompson.

Like it or not the Democrat party is using Obama as their token black guy. It is a win win situation for the Democrats. If Obama wins they can rave about how their party elected the first black president. If Obama does not win they will use that to show how racist the Republicans are.The press is also at fault though for their past errors. So maybe the media is playing the race card more than any other entity. I can think of a few black politicians who wanted to be president but hardly got any press. Obama had great press from the start even though his lack of experience did not warrant the praise. Maybe it is because he is black and a Democrat. I sometimes wonder if he would have the same press had he been a Republican.You have to ask yourself if he is doing as well as he has because of who he is or simply because of his image. I wish the media would play some of his botched speeches because the man actually makes many mistakes. People poke fun at McCain but Obama has made more mistakes during speeches lately. When he does it is not mentioned but if McCain does you can bet there will be an articles asking if he is too old to lead the country with little hints that his mind might be going. So maybe it is the media playing the race card as well by keeping as much negative Obama info tucked away as possible and showing every error that McCain makes.
