Secret Racists

It's so interesting, not to mention ironic and depressing, that the candidates currently leading the pack at this late date in the Democratic race for president are all white. So much for those politically-correct, unbiased, non-racist, white-man-hating liberals who talk a good game but rarely play one.

Gone are the candidates of color, since Kamala Harris quit and Tulsi Gabbard and Cory Booker have such low polling numbers they did not qualify for the next debate. I wonder why. Could it be that the real, man-in-the-street Democrats who are counted in polls and show up on Election Day are secretly not "liberal" after all?

I certainly see that among my Democratic friends, none of whom has any black people in their lives. In fact, the people I know who socialize with members of any minority are mostly Republicans, surprise surprise. This sad turn of events not only means that Trump will be re-elected in 2020 but that racism thrives under wraps, not out in the open where it is always loudly decried.
