One of the lackwit commentators whose blatherings are broadcast by the San Francisco Bay Area's National Public Radio outlet was on last night spouting about racially motivated Hillary supporters who won't vote for a candidate because he is black.
There undoubtedly are such voters but I submit that they are far fewer in number than white voters who will support a black candidate either because doing so makes them feel good about themselves (and perhaps even superior) or because of the rational benefits of having a black candidate succeed.
I know this from personal experience in my home town -- a liberal bastion of political correctness in a university community. We never advertised a black friend's sensible and practical conservative views after I convinced him to run or while I was managing his campaign for a local political office. The fact that he was black was enough for us to win handily.
So enough already. Let's stop it with the racism charges unless you want to explain whey it is racism for some unknown and probably undeterminable number of white voters to cast ballots on the basis of a candidate's race while 94% of blacks expressing their intentions to vote for a black candidate is not indicative of any racial bias.
