Clinton and Obama battle for a mother lode of delegates -- in a state with a nonwhite Latino, Asian, black majority. Who has figured out the electoral math?

    Why can't we talk about race?

    Sorry Gary Owen...When the Black voters of South Carolina voted overwhelmingly in disproportion to the rest of the populace, race becomes an issue...And why not?...Why is everyone so afraid to talk about the "reality" of the situation...Black folks are voting for a Black candididate...For some reason if you point out the obvious you're a "racist"...Now is the time for the Black voters to stand up and say if they're actually Democrats or not...Will they vote for Hillary if she wins and if not does this make "them" racist or just sore losers...
