EVERY conversation about "race" in this country, especially with liberals, is about "color". "Color" is the descriptive term for racial traits. "Color" is what is pointed at by liberals as the cause of all the conservative bias they see all around them. "Color" is what a HUGE portion of the citizenry uses to label themselves and those around them. Whether we like it or not, that's the way it is, and I still stand by my post.
FReeper nathanbedford’s first Maxim of American politics is that all politics in America is not local but ultimately racial.
The first time I read that, I was completely astounded by the light of truth it cast on the American political scene.
