Yes, I would question Huckabee about his past regarding civil Rights and how his views were formed - including understanding the views of his parents and grand parents and how he reconciled with them. Bill Clinton had to address those issues and he did in a manner that allowed him to win 80% to 90% of the black vote.

Huckabee was born and grew up in the South.
Obama was born in Hawaii and grew up there (with his maternal grandparents) and in Indonesia...and barely knew his Kenyan father and didnt visit the country until his 20s.
Feel free to keep making excuses for Huckabee's ignorant, and yes, racially charged comments....correcting himself about the Mau Maus (scary Blacks) in Kenya only to then speak about Obama growing up in the context of madrasas (scary Muslims) in Indonesia.
