Can I just point out, I have an OP in GDP asking about the source of HRC's white support [View all]

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511390864

It has 3 comments, one of which is from me.

But, honestly, I think that's actually a more interesting question in some ways than "why do black people like Clinton?" It's actually kind of a much more interesting question than what this group gets asked daily, and frankly it's something I think the party should ask, explicitly.

I would really like somebody to talk about white voting patterns as racial voting patterns, which they are even though no commentator calls them that.

More to my actual rage: nobody can admit that white identity is actually a racial issue, which it completely is. "Oh, I'm so non-racist I just never see color". Congratulations. Because the cops you hire fucking do.

What do I want? an actual racial accounting that gets people to simply admit that race exists. That would be a start. We'll move on from there.
