My point is that it's not just a question of societal awareness. The links in my GP post show Secretary Clinton and Governor O'Malley making exactly this mistake. They are not idiots and their ambitions depend on courting black voters, so they are acutely aware of the issues affecting black people.
The phrase is probably the best you can do in a slogan, but it is cryptic.
- eropple 11y ago> they are acutely aware of the issues affecting black people See...I really don't think they are (or at least were before they got shellacked). I think it's so profoundly pervasive that even at the highest levels it hasn't been An Issue until very recently. So it's pretty tough for me to see that. (While I don't know O'Malley, I don't pay attention to inconsequentials, I think Hillary Clinton is a status-quo-favoring moderate on most things, which probably doesn't make me more sympathetic.)
