You are exactly right. Yours is a brilliant piece of analysis. It’s such a sad commentary.

If one’s voting for a candidate on the basis of race (putting shared ideology, personality, and other factors aside) isn’t racism, I don’t know what racism is. As a white conservative, I will vote for anyone who shares my views and principles, whether he/she is black, white, yellow, purple, or green. Isn’t that what Dr. King aspired to?
