Read Tom Wolfe's

complete lecture and understand why Hussein will get a huge majority of the black vote, and also the Left vote. Here's a sample.

More recently, I returned to Washington and Lee for a conference on the subject of Latin American writing in the United States. The conference soon became a general and much hotter discussion of the current immigration dispute. I had arrived believing that, for example, Mexicans who had gone to the trouble of coming to the United States legally, going through all the prescribed steps, would resent the fact that millions of Mexicans were now coming into the United States illegally across the desert border. I couldn't have been more mistaken. I discovered that everyone who thought of himself as Latin, even people who had been in this country for two and three generations, were wholeheartedly in favor of immediate amnesty and immediate citizenship for all Mexicans who happened now to be in the United States. And this feeling had nothing to do with immigration policy itself, nothing to do with law, nothing to do with politics, for that matter. To them, this was not a debate about immigration. The very existence of the debate itself was to them a besmirching of their fiction-absolute, of their conception of themselves as Latins. Somehow the debate, simply as a debate, cast an aspersion upon all Latins, implying doubt about their fitness to be within the border of such a superior nation.


And yes it is long, and yes it requires concentration. But the end result is worth the effort.

It also explains why Hussein can not and will not disavow Minister Wright.

The Left's actions are a little harder to grasp, but just as simple. Just as the black base of Hussein has bought into the fiction that the world has not changed and that America is responsible for their problems, the Left believes that as part of white America, they are responsible for all of the evil that Wright, and those like him, claim America is responsible for.

But they do not want what has been "taken" from them, as the black base wants, what they want is forgiveness and redemption. This election is not only about race and gender, but also religion at its most raw, with Hussein as the Messiah and Wright as the Prophet.
