well, this is the first time anyone has called me naive in about 30 years -- of course race played a role, it always does, in just about everything, as does class. And I personally had white people tell me that they were supporting Jeff or Titi because he/she was the most viable African American candidate and we need another person of color on the council. I don't disagree with that thinking, it's a legitimate consideration. My question is why there was such a strong assumption that people in the convention were trying to BLOCK there being an endorsement of a black candidate. And Wizard, your analysis that Titi just overreacted because she lost is interesting.
