I don't think race is the only thing people concentrate on. And I do not think that is at all what enabled Obama to become the Democratic front-runner earlier this year. It is clear that race is still a factor. Obama has no problem discussing race issues openly. I don't either. I think it is healthy and about time we start talking more openly about race issues, it may enable us to make further progress. I feel race issues have stagnated the last 30 years. Its gotten a little better, but crawlingly so relative to what it could be.
