Thank you for the long, heartfelt post. I'd like to respond at length tonight, but I'm dead tired and it's very late. All I can say at the moment is that I spent 30 years living in New Orleans, a city with a much larger black middle class than the rest of America has ever been aware of. So of course I'm quite aware that the similarities among the members of any socioeconomic class of whatever race, in a given culture, are much greater than are any differences. This makes the sudden and dramatic racial split in this primary all the more unsettling and in the long run, that much more unfortunate. Obviously, I don't lay this split at the Clintons' door, but rather at Obama's. I see this not only as a tragedy, but a moral failing which is making it nearly impossible for me to contemplate ever voting for Obama.
