In reply to the discussion: Talking About Race In This Election [View all]serbbral

Great piece! I have to say that it still amazes me that some folks are still ignoring black folks (and other minorities) when it comes to this election, despite what happened in the 2012 election. Many just knew (that baffled me) that Mitt Romney had it, completely underestimating the black vote. Whether we talk about it or not, the minority vote does help shape who wins.
