As an “African American” I have to say that this incident does not prove that McCain is a racist. It proves that one (if not all) of his secret service agents is an asshole who really should have little to no interaction with the general public. I can see where his being the only “Black” reporter to be booted out would raise some eyebrows but seeing as he wasn’t stopped at the door I seriously doubt it was about race. After reading the article I wondered if the reporter was saked to leave all together or was he simply asked to move?
I would like to request that we save playing the race card until we have some actual evidence of the candidates being a racist. So far what I have seen has been lacking.
As for those diggers that bring up Obama campagn barring muslim women from a photo op I would like to point out that many misinformed people think he is a “secret muslim” based on the picture of him wearing African / Middle eastern clothes regaurdless of the fact that he is a Christian. (As the media has made painfully clear with thier Revereand Wright coverage.) Imagine the response if the image of Obama with two muslim women in full religious garb was posted on the internet out of context like the other one. I can see the headlines now “OBAMA IS REALLY A MUSLIM AND HE HAS A HAREM!!!”
