ABC’s Cuomo: America is “inherently racist”

All Chris Cuomo does here is give us a glimpse of what goes through the average leftist’s gourd about his own country.  Via Extreme Mortman (with a link to the video clip here):

Presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama appeared on Good Morning America today. Most of the interview consisted of standard boilerplate political fare, but GMA host Chris Cuomo asked Obama one question that says more about Cuomo’s beliefs than anything else. He asked Obama what is the greater obstacle for him in the presidential contest, Hillary’s political machine or “America’s inherent racism.” Nice. To his credit, Obama doesn’t pick up the card and play it himself. 

This merely lays the groundwork for a ready-made excuse should Barry O not win the primary (which would mean that Democrats are “inherently racist” for not picking him, right?) or the general election.

They tried that narrative when Harold Ford, Jr., was the only Democrat in a close Senate race to lose: Tennesseeans are just too bigoted to vote for a black man!  Couldn’t it be due to TN’s conservative electoral make-up or Ford’s policies?  Nope…it’s because Ford’s black.  That kind of reflexive race-baiting without introspection or consideration of alternative explanations will likely be on display should Obama lose the general election, but will likely be absent should his own party reject him in the primary (since the MSM wouldn’t dare suggest that Dems are “inherently racist”).
