It was resolved years ago. The average person will vote for anyone who can show themselves to be decent and intelligent, regardless of race. But race has become too precious a commodity to allow it to slip away. The media love it, the politicians love it, and the lawyers love it. Good money to be made in race-mongering.
Right, and thus you see 88%-12% black voter turnout for Obama, and perhaps 51%-49% for Clinton. So which group represents the "average person" who "can't see past race" ?
