Reply #75: From the OP: "discussions of race turn Americans into blithering, mewling idiots"

[Bucky]

It doesn't matter what side of the fence he lands on; it doesn't matter what race he is. Race is, on its own value, a pretty unimportant thing. Everyone who gives race a priority in political discussions feeds a fat ignorant beast. The point isn't that he denounced Clinton in racially divisive terms.

Guess what happens when you promote racial divisions in a majority white country? You wound black candidates. This year, that happens to be the guy I consider best suited (among the remaining candidates) for the job of president.

I hope in the end his words don't matter. But right now I fear that they will.
