Has the Democratic party become too obcessed with race?

[bart95]

84. it's not even so much that they are DOING too much about it

as much as talking about it too much

and i'm even talking about local, i still get invited to local democratic party events, and there's still a lot of talk about race, and total censorship of free trade and economic issues

it's like someone in a work group in status meetings, making a big deal over one issue, to take up the time they would have spent discussing the issues they have failed (or refused) to do anything about - that's what i'm really getting at

'Additionally, what specifically leads you to believe that racial slurs have been all but eradicated? '

the fact that doing so publicly is (correctly) a career ending move, even once in most cases. the fact that i never hear people in semi public places ever use them - ever.

for instance, what do you hear more often - talk about 'The N-word', or the actual word itself? (use among rappers etc, does not count)
