HILLARY CLINTON'S CONTROVERSIAL WHITE VOTER COMMENT- (MSNBC)
It is clear that Hillary's comments are not Culturally Healthy. However, I think the phrase "Race" Card as it has been constructed to prevent or dismiss Black's who talk about ethnic realities is DoubleSpeak. The same Cultural Literacy rules apply to this new 'White "Race" Card' phrase. America's birth defect is a serious matter not a card game.
Having said that, Hillary implying that dumb White ("uneducated") Democrats are extreme anti-humanists that will only vote for other European Americans is a tactical error and harmful to the presumptive candidate and the Democratic Party.
Lets not play "Race" games, lets use Cultural Health language to accurately describe ethnic realities in America. Extreme anti-humanists did not help change American during the civil War or the 1960's. Now, like then, Humanists must change the nation despite them.
This blog's mission is to improve Cultural Health, by raising Cultural Literacy and reducing Cultural Poisoning. With respect to Cultural Literacy, I am focused on Classical African Civilization. With respect to Cultural Poisoning, I will help you understand how to Detect it, Correct it, and most importantly, how to prevent little children from catching it. This site is for Americans in general and African Americans in particular. Video: Politics to Physical Health

Obama Race and Unity Speech
The White and Black anger excerpt from the speech ( 5.44 min)
Obama's much anticipated "race" speech was more about unity then the old politics of "race". He also challenged us Americans by asking us, do we want to have the old discussion or the new one?
Today Obama gave a speech in the home of the constitution Philadelphia, PA. He talked about the constitution's promise and practice and the gap. He talked about Black anger and White anger and how often this is a distraction from the business at hand. He made surprisingly Culturally Healthy statements regarding legitimate discussions of "race" and shined light on those in the media that would mislabel such discussions "political correctness" and "reverse racism". He reminded Americans to be mindful of those who would try to move us off course toward a more perfect union.
So as I listened to him talk about my older Rev. Wright generation and his generation and the new generation that he is attracting to politics, it dawned on me, that his speech was more about unity than "race". He ended with a TeamAmerica challenge, .do you (voters) want to have the old discussion on "race" or would you rather have the new discussion on American issues like War, the economy and health care.
I was pleased to see this remarkable individual be wise enough to turn the negative attacks into a National Cultural Health Learning opportunity. .
This article's Newsvine poll asks you to answer the question, was Obama's speech successful? The answer depends on what you want to talk about going forward.
