In any case, why is it so bad to bring this out of the closet and to be able to discuss it?

I don't see it as bad to discuss it. What I do see as bad is one of the Dem candidates for the party nomination publicly arguing that the other cannot be elected because he is black. (1) It's not only not clear that he is unelectable but there are strong reasons to believe he is more electable than Clinton. Which makes it doubly bad. And (2) such public arguments validate and legitimate voting on the basis of racism.
