Mrs. Obama played the race card by saying something to the effect that she doesn't worry about her husband's safety due to running for President, since as a black man, he is in danger at the gas station. I wonder if black people realize how ridulous and racist this attitude is. I kept statistics on murders in Ft. Worth for a few years back in the 80's. It appeared that about half of the people murdered were killed by someone they knew, and that was usually someone of the same race. For white people about 90% of the other half were killed by a black person. For black people it was very unusual for the killer to be white. (In some cases it was not possible to tell race from the newspaper account, or the killer was not known.) I haven't kept up with this recently, but since the late 80's several million Mexicans have come into to Texas, and now it appears that a high percentage of murders involve Mexicans based on the names of the people. (According to info I've read in Steve Sailer's blog, black men are about 8 or 9 times as likely as white men to commit murder, and Mexican men are about 4 times as likely to commit murder as white men. A few years ago people complained that even though black people were only one-eighth the population of Texas, half of those on Death Row for murder were black. But half is about right based on the statistics. This probability of killing for a classification of people is the reason that over half of the population, women, are rarely on Death Row. That is obvious to everyone except Liberals.)
