NPR: Black Women Voters See Only Gender and Race

I heard the following story promo on NPR this morning: "African-American women who are Democrats face a dilemma in the presidential race: Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama."

Now, on the plus side, NPR, one of the anchors of the liberal media, tacitly admits that not all African-American women are Democrats.

On the negative side, though, NPR seems to stereotype African-American women who are Democrats as able to vote based solely on race or gender, rather than important things like ... issues. Hence, NPR thinks they have a "dilemma" of voting for the woman or the black guy.

The possibility that some African-American women who are Democrats might be backing former Sen. John Edwards, or New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson or any of the other candidates currently seeking the nomination seems to escape NPR.

My mind is still trying to figure out how NPR would do the story if Condi Rice was running for the Republican nomination...
