Yes. Unconscious bias is in us all. But let me ask you a serious question: Do you think his overwhelming support with black voters is because we all just can't see what
you see?

I don't think you understand that
this is exactly what black people are hoping for when it comes to everyone. Would we rather have a black woman in office? Some would. Some think her position as a prosecutor is disqualifying. But there is one truth we seem to understand better than you. And that's white people. White people aren't going to vote for a fucking black woman not named Michelle Obama or Beyoncé.* At least they're not in the places we need them to and in the numbers required to flip the Senate. Perform this analysis with all the other (legitimate) contenders to whatever degree you need.

any of the rest of the substance of his remarks and that quotation was the only thing splashed everyfuckingwhere. But, he needs to tighten it the fuck up.
