Weve entered the time of a liberal-fostered hypersensitivity around race that even extends to racially insensitive menu items.

You see, Obama was elected by a majority of whites largely because he did not fit that stereotype; give whites the idea that he has that capacity and, reasons Dyson, theyll flock to Romney en masse.
