    My point is we elected the whitest black guy we could possibly find and even then it took 230 years. We still have a long way to go before we pat ourselves on the back.

        We didn’t “suddenly get too racist”. The US was no more likely to elect a black presenting president in 2008 than we are now. Even one with Obama’s gravitas.

          Exactly. A minority candidate absolutely can win, as long as they can rally Democratic voters.

            I hope you’re right but I have my doubts.
