So those who were already voting would vote anyway without considering the race of the candidate as a factor.

Additionally, I wasn't saying anyone was afraid of a white president. I was just saying that it's the same decision to vote for someone because they're white OR to vote for someone because they're black. I don't think one is morally better than the other.

If?

Isn't that usually how it is?

In this case race was a factor but moreso, was how seriously he could be taken...obviously he was taken very seriously.
