There is no support for this as many studies have shown racism is alive and well in America. What has driven US politics is the hidden hand of a shadow government that controls the candidates, their media exposure and the national agenda isolated from the will of the common people. It does this by crafting a select series of 'issues'.\r\nThis is not about race.
