I think its a mistake to think that because he hasn't spent the majority of his time talking about race to assume that he doesn't think it is a major issue. If he did focus too much of his candidacy on race, he'd have ended up as no more a viable candidate than Jesse Jackson. I assume based on smaller more nuanced comments (as well as the recent speech on race) that he is highly attuned to the issues, but it just isn't practical for him to get too detailed about his plans because it is such a volatile issue that it would make him unelectable.
