So I explained to you how it doesn't make sense to make the ostracizing of an entire race of people part of your political campaign to win more votes by bringing up another racial stereotype that has some semblance of statistics to back up the stereotype-- but of course it is foolish to make it a political talking point to back handedly or point blank talk about the middle-aged white males as if they are all guilty of the crimes I mentioned.
I acknowledged that it is foolish to do that. What I would like is for you to acknowledge that it is indeed foolish for the GOP to do the same thing, election cycle after election cycle.
In fact, the crimes I mentioned that are dominated by the middle-aged white male, are not dominated by middle-aged white males simply because there are more middle-aged white males. It really isn't that simple at all and I hope you realize that.

"Racism" probably is not the word I would use. That denotes racial supremacy. Perhaps there are some "bigoted" remarks that should not be made.
In the final analysis, we must find a way to move past race in this country. I still think 90% of all Americans are not racist nor dwell on their own ethnicity. But the media simply will not let it go.
