I saw this article as well and agree with Julian Bond's article.
I live in GA (4th Congressional District) and many of US felt like we were supposed to vote for Cynthia McKinney, the incumbent, instead of her equally Black challenger, Denise Majette. Charges of Majette being a "Tomette" and a "Republican" (which in the heavily Democratic district was like talkin' about someone's momma) flew from the McKinney camp to Majette. It's sad that what should have been a good "may the best woman win" race turned into a race baiting one. The really said thing was the race was not really about the issues or what either candidate could do for the district, but about who was "black" and who wasn't. I hate it when we do that to each other..
