This white women "issue" is connected to Tennessee, I believe.
The Republican Party ran a television advertisement where a white woman, played by Johanna Goldsmith, talks about meeting [black candidate] Ford, who was unmarried at the time, at "the Playboy party." The ad was denounced by many people, including former Republican Senator and Secretary of Defense under Bill Clinton, William Cohen, who called it "a very serious appeal to a racist sentiment." [from an Internet source]
Your being statist now.
Darned, and I thought that Cohen guy was hetero ~ Playboy Club, half nekkid women, and all Cohen can think about is SKIN COLOR.
