Obama Wins Mississippi: Reuters Points out Obvious

I think the media also pushes the idea that since Obama is black and he has strong black support that is the only reason why he is still winning. This Reuters article is a case in point:

Obama, who would be the first black U.S. president, rode a wave of
heavy black support to victory and extended his lead over Clinton in pledged
delegates to the August nominating convention. The Illinois senator also won on
Saturday in Wyoming.

I think it is common knowledge that he would be the first black President and that Mississippi like any other Southern state has a large amount of blacks but Reuters must point it out again and again. Maybe the media draws this conclusion in order to make sense of why Hillary went from shoo-in to "fighting for her life" so quickly.

They need to foster the myth that if Obama was white then Hillary would have sewn it all up and the media would be correct in their assumptions. They can't admit that Obama is winning because he is a different, articulate, charismatic, and hopeful choice so they need to pin it on his race.
