CNN's wonderful headline writers are at it again.In their attempt to make a valid point, they make another one.
No mention is given in their article tease to black women actually thinking about which candidate is actually better for the office on their merits.
Rather, CNN believes that black women are reduced to morons, incapable of operating outside a race > gender calculation.
Happy Martin Luther King Day, brought to you by your friends in Atlanta.

I think the underreported dilemma is that of the white man. If he is a democrat who the hell is he going to vote for. For the first time in history he is faced with voting for someone who looks nothing like him.
But seriously folks, there is a lot more that defines a person than their race. I'm sure we all know that. This stuff just gets so dumbed down, and its always the easiest things to report on. The things that require the least amount of work by the reporter. They can easily count the women and african americans in a crowd, and report on that. God forbid they actually talk to them, or report on the issues.
We need reporters assigned to a specific issue rather than a specific candidate. IMO.
As Franklin Delano Bluth once said, "It Ain't Easy Bein' White, It Ain't Easy Bein' Brown"

And as J. Walter Weatherman once said, "And that's why you don't try to teach the black community a lesson."
