Debate focuses on minority issues
On a day when the US Supreme Court issued a direct challenge to race-conscious education policies, the eight Democratic presidential candidates debated issues deemed important to minority voters.
The candidates, meeting last night at Howard University, a predominantly black college in Washington, differed on HIV infection rates, Hurricane Katrina, early childhood education, and a host of other themes rarely touched on in the prior two Democratic debates.
But last night's event was also notable for how personal it was: Senator Hillary Clinton of New York, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, and Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico all began by noting that their mere presence was a testament to how far America had come.
"You can look at this stage and see an African-American, a Latino, and a woman contesting for the presidency of the United States," Clinton said.
Richardson, whose mother is from Mexico, then cited his Hispanic heritage, and Obama, whose father was born in Kenya, used his initial remarks to thank former Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall and others who had worked on the 1954 Brown v . Board of Education decision that ended school segregation.

You really amaze me, Fox,~LOL~. Do you really believe any Democrat would get a fair shake on Fox? They even tried to shut down Ron Paul and anyone that doesn't follow Rupert Murdoch's venue. Are you for the same things as Rupert Murdoch? He wants to control the worlds news. To be able to only let the people hear and see what he deems appropriate. Are you for this Mind control? Come on, Fox news? I'm starting to doubt your sincerety. How can an intelligent being, as I have assumed you are, actually say, "they are afraid to go on Fox news"? If they weren't afraid of having everything they said spun, they'd be insane.
