Eugene Robinson consistently encourages racial thinking by seeing everything through the distorting glass of race ["Oprah the Believer," op-ed, Dec. 11].
Is it possible that a white person would not vote for Barack Obama for president because Obama has zero foreign policy experience, zero executive experience and zero substantial legislative record? Nah -- it's all racism.
The other two anointed Democrats average barely more than a single undistinguished term in national elective office, so is refusal to support them simply gender discrimination and anti-Southerner bias? One could analyze the Republicans similarly.
Racial thinking obscures the judgment we need to apply to candidates. It is a disservice to Americans of all stripes except the prejudiced.
