". . . Two things have happened in America that make it possible
we would actually elect an African-American president. One is that
white voters are casting more ballots for black candidates, all
across the country. Racism lives, but it isn't what it used to be.
The other is this new generation of politicians like Obama, the
senator from Illinois, and Booker, the mayor of Newark. They
steer clear of ideological fights and confrontations. They focus on
solving problems. They build coalitions with white and Latino
politicians. And they rarely, if ever, appeal to black voters based
on narrow racial interests. "It's a co-evolution," says David
Bositis of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a
think tank focusing on black issues. "White voters have evolved. The
other thing is, these black candidates are not your typical
black candidates from the past. They have a broader message aimed at
everyone. . . . " Tom Morgan, Tossing the Race Card from the Deck,
The Star-Ledger, January 11, 2008.
