re: #226 Obdicut

He said something true about race in America— a typical person still reacts to someone he doesn’t know partially along racial lines. The Harvard Implicit Association test is a very easy proof of that.

He also made it clear that he was not at all saying his grandmother had any racism in her whatsoever.

The man’s supposed to be a politician. He used the example of his own grandmother to illustrate some racial shortcoming of America. Harvard me no Harvards; it was another example of his tin ear to say something like that.
