I think that is the problem that Perry is running into here with her original piece and its aftermath. She writes passionately and proliferately about race, and this is a good thing. However, it seems to me that she has lost the ability to look at any problem or issue without using the lens of race as her guide. Thus, every problem is about race. She writes about how white liberals are abandoning the President, and looks at the "white" part and sees a racial problem. She ignores the "liberal" part, which is a political problem.

I think that she needs to take a step back and reflect on her writing. Not everything in this world is about race. Clinton lost support among white liberals when he was in office, and it certainly wasn't about race. Obama is losing support among blacks as well, is that also about race?
