It is becoming disgusting to watch people play with themselves and others about connotations and denotations. I am black and I have not made my mind up and I try to look for true intent in what people do and say. Bill Clinton was clearly speaking of the fact that over 85% of the blacks in South Carolina voted for the "so-called" black candidate. Whites split their votes along policy lines. That is what they did when Jesse Jackson ran, also. Bill's emphasis was on the fact that had blacks not skewed their votes, the outcomes would have been based on American policy standards instead. Then, the outcome in South Carolina would reflect the outcomes in the other States were the majority of people voted policy rather than stereotype. Bill is saying that Obama will lose in the other southern States and border States just as Jackson did. That's all.
