8. no, sorry. what I mean is why do we keep bringing up that he's black?

even if your heart is in the right place, which it apparently is, why keep making it an issue?

everytime its reinforced gives weight to the racebaiting. How about he's just an excellent or good candidate, why does he have to be an excellent or good black candidate?

not sure you'll get my point, but you are damning with faint praise when you make the issue of his blackness coupled with his success more of a story than his success.
