I would be shot down if I started a conversation about the white race. Right? If I started in on a piece about how the white man has been demonized I could be assured negative results. Just because I was putting white instead of black at the core of my argument.
Lets put it this way. There should never be a reason to insert RACE into politics IF you want race not to matter within politics. If you want it to matter than please be assured that what is good for the goose is good for the gander and white rhetoric should also be allowed. "Irregardless" ( now you have me using it again and again
) of white or black race should not be an issue when it comes to American Politics.
But it is. We all know it. He should have had a bit more integrity and just ignored the racial banter and not have made it part of his politics. It shows a lot of his character that he felt he had to answer. Silence would have been a sure winner.
