132. Melissa Harris Perry did not qualify her charge with *some*.
"The 2012 election may be a test of another form of electoral racism: the tendency of white liberals to hold African-American leaders to a higher standard than their white counterparts. If old-fashioned electoral racism is the absolute unwillingness to vote for a black candidate, then liberal electoral racism is the willingness to abandon a black candidate when he is just as competent as his white predecessors."

Where does it say some in the quote above?

The title of the article is "Black President, Double Standard: Why White Liberals Are Abandoning Obama"

It is not "Black President, Double Standard: Why *SOME* White Liberals Are Abandoning Obama
