Some alarmists are already predicting that Barry’s impending fifty-state losing sweep will precipitate a race war led, initially, by angry black people. I rather believe that it will, instead, create a stunned silence that might gradually lead to a new understanding of race in America. That, among other things, the old black-white dichotomy has been relegated to history. The transformation may be impeded by the usual loudmouthed haters screaming at each other on radio and television. The paranoid, certainly, will cower with loaded weapons behind locked doors awaiting arrival of the Klan or the Black Panthers, and some all-black inner cities may consume themselves in self-righteous fire. But, in the end, the transformation will occur quietly and effectively. Much the way that our politics have always been decided. Without a lot of regard for the hustlers and the shouters.
