25. Isn't it pollsters and pundits who divided this race up white v black with exit polls/analysis?
Are Obama supporters honestly going to say they never heard anyone say "Obama is expected to do well in North Carolina because it has a large black community" or "Obama should do well in South Carolina because it has a large black community" or "Hillary should do well in PA because it has a large white lower middle class population." Seriously, these numbers which are supposedly so offensive came right off the media's projections, polls, and exit polls! Why pretend it's something the Clinton campaign (or the Obama campaign, for that matter) invented?

This Hillary-is-a-racist narrative is the major, the single biggest issue, that has turned Clinton supporters against Obama. Since Obama will be our nominee, I suggest the proponents of this racist narrative cool it so that we might actually have a chance to win in November. Should this continue, questions are going to have to be asked about why people are using the race card to hurt other democrats and what those posters motives truley are.
