Civil rights reform is over - neither party is currently offering any policy that is explicitly to the benefit of any particular race of people.

It's just a valid question that has to be asked. It may mean that we do still have an unhealthy preoccupation with race in this country, but that it disproportionately could be assigned to blacks. This is what Murph was getting at, and your argument proves it - since a skillion white people voted for Obama. Whites didn't go 92% for the white guy.

Here you go..
