The main topic...that a certain camp awaits any chance to cite racism...is a valid opinion and rarely heard. My thanks for allowing it some air. It would seem that this group, like most that get media attention, are a minority among their constituents. They seem to want to employ a double standard. They want an America that does not decide on race. But if you you don't like their black candidate, you must be a racist. You can't have it both ways. Either we ditch race as a factor or we include it. To do both is to practice viewpoint discrimination. If this group wants to move us beyond race, they should stand on principle. But it seems they are more interested in being heard as "leaders" than being respected for their leadership earned by honesty. Getting rich (or famous) from the suffering of others has never been honorable.
