Racial Politics In The New (Old?) South

[Bad link now fixed]

A minority candidate has a real shot at being elected the next mayor of Atlanta, and the prospect has the majority so worried that it is resorting to the old tactic of calling for racial bloc voting.

As someone who grew up in the segregated South, I find this new/old call for racial solidarity both familiar and depressing.

    Perhaps the link needs to be fixed. I get a link to a computer magazine article. And some readers (me for instance) are uncertain whether “minority” means black or white in this case.
