Last week, cable-ready rabblerouser Bill Maher of HBO's Real Time With Bill Maher ventured to Culver City, California's Fox Hills Mall, where he questioned mallgoers and employees about what is shaping up to be the Sophie's Choice* for black women in the Democratic primaries: Do you back the black man because he's black, or the white woman because she's a woman? (Albeit a woman married to a "black" man.) The black women Bill spoke to are mostly in Barack Obama's favor, and, as for the three men, well, they could care less about the political process, seemingly more interested in "terrorizing" and the price of highly-caffeinated soft drinks. Clip above. *Yeah, bad analogy.
