Mickey Kaus got an interesting email from a Democratic white woman who had been for Barack Obama but isn’t any more. Here’s her reasoning:
I was liking Obama quite a bit until the militant black establishment came out for him. Here’s the thing… your primary identity is either American or hyphenated-American. …
By being the Black candidate rather than an American candidate, Obama is no longer in the running to be MY candidate.
Naturally, this political calculus will be called racist.
