The highest ranking black congressman, Jim Clyburn, seems to think so:
"Mr. Clyburn added that there appeared to be an almost “unanimous” view among African-Americans that Mr. and Mrs. Clinton were “committed to doing everything they possibly can to damage Obama to a point that he could never win.”
I'm not sure if he's saying this is a racial attack per se by the Clintons, and I don't think it should be construed in that matter. Seems to me Clinton would be tossing the kitchen sink at Marvin the Martian if he opposed her and he's...oh wait, he's black...well, you get my point. It's ambition not racism that seems to be her motivation. Now if Clyburn seems to think that the Clintons' owe blacks something, then I'm not sure he's met a Clinton--or a politician for that matter.
Of course he might just be blowing smoke up our asses; since, as Ambinder reported, he's an undecided Super Delegate. Put your money where your mouth is Clyburn!
