Well, it seems that a group of Illinois clergy, with support from the media, think that US Senate seats are "color coded". And apparently, the one
vacated by Obama belongs to the black race:
If you thought Barack Obama’s election to the highest office in the land would usher in a new post-racial period for America — think again.
Laura Washington’s column in the Chicago Sun-Times today is about the perceived ‘hijacking’ of Barack Obama’s “black Senate seat” through
a possible special election in light of Gov. Blago’s corruption.
The so-called “Concerned Clergy of Illinois” (meaning concerned black clergy concerned about black people) believes that the federal corruption
investigation of Blagojevich is cover for a conspiracy by whites to take Obama’s “black senate seat.”

Black leaders in Chicago don’t want the people to have a chance to vote, because they may not elect a black person to fill Obama’s seat. The
blacks who claim a racial conspiracy are in fact the only ones motivated by race in this situation. Barack Obama’s senate seat is not the property
of black people simply because the guy who filled it was black.

Perhaps these enlightened individuals should tell us exactly which seats are "off limits" to any race but the black race?!
