Can Democrats learn to talk about race?
Hillary Clinton's "hardworking Americans" comment seemed to exclude blacks. Donna Brazile's "new" Democratic vision marginalized working-class whites and Latinos. How does the party unite?

  • Can Democrats learn to talk about race?

    Yes. But the issue isn't race with Democrats, it's socio-economic class. Republicans (and still far too many Southern Dems) don't need to talk about race because it's pretty much a given that they are mostly racists.
