This HuffPo post by Orlando Lima is one of the best things I’ve ever read:

It’s troublesome that liberal whites act in a racist fashion so often without realizing it. We all know where the conservatives stand. They’re transparent. They hate black people. The liberals are translucent. They like us when it’s convenient.

When liberals need black votes they come into our communities and act like they’re down. They’ll crank dat Souljah Boy like the dance is still in style. When we’re dunking basketballs and cracking jokes they commend us for being so darn entertaining. But when they feel challenged by blacks, as the Clinton campaign does by the Obama campaign, we’re not so fresh after all.

In essence, what Ferraro is saying about Obama is that he has not earned his lead in the race for the democratic presidential nomination. He’s just lucky. He was in the right place at the right time and he’s a trendy color. Apparently, black is the new black. The reality is Obama is running a better campaign. Don’t take my word for it. Ask the American people. The primary results speak for themselves. If the shoe was on the other foot and Clinton had the lead, the DNC would be up Obama’s ass sideways insisting that, for the greater good of the party, he step aside and let Clinton assume the nomination.

Seriously, it’s great.  Read the whole thing.
