From the New York Post: "The state's first black governor yesterday blamed his political woes -- and those of President Obama -- on a white-dominated media that he accused of taking part in an "orchestrated" attack campaign. "We're not in the post-racial period," Paterson said in a freewheeling interview on the liberal talk-radio station WWRL. "My feeling is it's being orchestrated, it's a game, and people who pay attention know that."(cite)

Well they elected you didn't they? I guess if they hadn't elected you, they would have been guilty of racism. But they did. Now you are getting heat, so that's racism. I guess it would only be fair for them to give you a free pass - you are, after all, black. But wait, that would be racism wouldn't it? Giving you a free pass just because you are black? Even if they did, and then you don't get re-elected, I suppose you will say it was because racism is still alive and well in the state of NY and a qualified black man can't get a job just because of his color. Well I agree, that would be unjust. But equally unjust is giving an unqualified black man a job just because of his color.
