Affirmative Action and the Iowa Caucus

An often professed justification for continuing on indefinitely with demeaning, insulting and condescending affirmative action preferences is the specter of nation filled with implacable racism.

I believe Barack Obama and the good people of Iowa have dealt that rationalization a stinging blow.

How, in a state made up mostly of white people in a nation dominated by racists, could a black man running for president receive more votes than a white man or a white woman?
