change is hard. If whites, including supposed progressives, are still ridiculously uncomfortable voting for a black person, then this country is nowhere near as far along in race relations as we pretend to be. Even if it means losing the election, if it unveils the ugly truth about the American subconscious, then so be it. It's about damn time some truth is revealed in this matter. If we shy away from nominating him because of this fear that whites won't vote for him, then we will only continue to facilitate the problem instead of confronting it and eventually making it unacceptable to the public.
