YOur opinion.

I am a life long Democrat who has raised at least one son who dates black women and I have no issues with it at all. That son stood in a voting line in Texas watching racial lines get divided in front of his eyes ( and not by Hillary supports)

I find this campaign and the reaction to it quite reactionary myself and think we all should feel free to talk about the issues.

What's wrong with talking about facts? Does talking about skin color make one a racist?

The black vote was there for Hillary to harvest and had she run a smart campaign she would have got it or rather kept it.

Say what?

But Bill's insults in SC were like a switch.

That wasn't the only factor in play at the time. Concurrently, blacks were coming to believe that one of their own could actually win and were hopping on the bandwagon. Bill may have made that shift easier, but it would have happened anyway.
