The economic situation in the country is so dire that racial issues may move to the back burner rather soon. We have some money we had invested in a retirement account - relying on stocks. We moved the money to a fixed interest account this week. Paul and I really believe that we could be facing the beginning of the worst financial mess since the Great Depression. People will become more racist if they take the small view that they are competing with minorities for the pitiful jobs that may be around (thus, the attack on immigrants) or the large view that it takes all kinds of people to get us out of this economic mess - and there Obama has a chance - if he sticks to message and does not get caught up in the discussion about race. He has gotten distracted by the likes of Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary's fear mongering. I think his main strategy has to be to let most of this stuff slide and focus on the problems of the country.
