A US Story: white woman meets black man

Despite my lack of enthusiasm for the US primaries, I am interested in public reactions to race and gender in the democratic party primary.
Well I was surprised today that unconsciously, and in matters of subliminal perceptions not analysed rationally, it is race that is still a problem in the US. Probably more than the gender issue, more than the Islam issue. I thought that the media were pretty soft on Hillary, probably afraid of being accused of gender bias. After all, they would have called the elections for Barack Obama after yesterday's results if he was facing someone else than Hillary because there is no way Hillary can win the nomination arithmetically in what remains of the primaries. Instead they are celebrating her comeback.
I am not for either candidates but I was surprised today to read that the Hillary campaign, after having used the ethnic religious issue against Barack Obama, is now using the race issue in a very ugly manner, much more uglier than early Bill Clinton's insinuations about Obama. They are betting on the public negative subliminal perception of a black man. Look for yourself.

'Can Hillary cry her way back to the White House ?'

I really have a hard time liking any of the presidential hopefuls in the US. I believe US citizen deserve better.
Between political correctness and gender thinking, Maureen Dowd gives us here a witty comment on Hillary's tears in NH before the vote.
