Bill Clinton and the Race Card in Chicago’s Race for Mayor
by Mike Tobin | December 28, 2010
Chicago mayoral hopeful Congressman Danny Davis (D-Ill.) insisted that he is not playing the race card as he threatens to turn the African American community against former President Bill Clinton, if he comes to the city of the big shoulders to stump for Rahm Emanuel.
"It's a friendship card," Davis said, emphasizing the long relationship between himself and Clinton, who once wore the label "the First Black President."
