...enjoyed John Cloud's "Breaking Down the Black Vote." I am from Tanzania, and like many foreigners who come to the U.S., I found out - to my surprise - that I belong to a pool of supposedly disadvantaged minorities. I struggle with the skewed concept of race in America. For some reason, having black blood is almost seen as some kind of contamination. How would this racial-political dialogue play out if, say, Obama were one-fourth or one-eighth black? I am reminded of the Christian teachings on original sin.
