You know exactly what she's doing. She's fed up with the NAACP and LaRaza groups getting a free ride in the media. This is just one way to point it out.
Bingo!
Id rather spend an afternoon watching football with a Southern black buddy than golfing with an aloof white New Englander.
On the other hand, I do have a strong bond with my fellow Americans regardless of race and geography, and Ive felt it very poignantly while traveling overseas.
There is nothing sweeter than listening to an American tourists accent after spending several weeks traveling in Asia and encountering very few English speakers.
Similarly, when I traveled through Central America for a few months, I remember arriving to Panama and going to Diablo Heights where many Americans lived. I stopped on a Wednesday nigh at a small church about to conduct a bible study, and I was regaled with a chorus of Americans speaking all of our dialects, from Georgia drawl to California dude-speak.
The church members invited me to a church picnic on Sunday afternoon, and that was the most memorable day of that vacation trip. So much camaraderie, fellowship, friendship, and loyalty among Americans of different colors and races, mostly families of American servicemen.
On the other hand, I never felt any strong bond to foreigners who happened to be white. I tend to bond easily with people who share my ethnicity, language, culture, hometown, etc, but I have never felt any strong bond to people solely based on their pale skin.
