It says quite a bit about race in this
country, that the person whose viability as a presidential candidate
depends entirely on his deep support from one racial group (Romney, and
white men over the age of 40) is portrayed by the mainstream media as
having wide appeal...while the candidate who is supported by a strong
majority of those voters who will increasingly dominate the electorate in the
decades to come (Obama) is depicted as being almost entirely dependent upon
'minorities.'
Privileged and older white men ARE a minority
group, people, and will become even more so over time. And their votes count the same as everyone else's.
And
they no longer represent the 'center' or 'core' of anything. Other than the Republican Party, that is.
