Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver, a black supporter of Hillary Clinton, told Fox News he’s concerned about what a Barack Obama win would mean in November:
“I think whites would say, ‘How could anybody say we were racist, that we have any racist residue when you look what we just did (potentially electing Obama)?’ And African Americans would say, ‘Look at what we just did. So now we ought to have unblocked access to all of our dreams, all of our hopes,'” Cleaver said. “And I think there would be great disappointment when they saw some issue of race surfacing. It would be like, ‘Oh my goodness. I thought we were past that.'”
In other words, because the U in USA doesn’t stand for Utopia, we shouldn’t elect a black president. This is the screwiest reason I’ve heard for not electing Obama since . . . well, the other times Hillary’s supporters bring up his race as a negative. But I give them credit–at least it’s not just her white friends saying it. Now that’s diversity.
