I am interested in learning how you viewed the episode in the last election wherein black panthers harassed white voters away from the polls. Eric Holder certainly didn't take much notice. Was that "over the edge"?

Was Obama's rush to Professor Gates's rescue a strike against racism?

It depends on whether you are the accused or the accuser.
