 Are you denying that a person can be color-blind?yes, yes I am if they are American, raised in America, and not actually physically BLIND they cant be 'colorblind' Wow, I didn't know that God was powerless to give an American a color-blind heart. What was I thinking?  /sarc lol God gave us EYES, not so we could pretend not to see whats in front of us... And He can give people the ability to ignore a person's skin color when making a judgement about that person. to ignore something is to consciously decide not to regard it that is different than never seeing it,,, race and color aren't synonymous but that has nothing to do with whether we have to be 'blind' to color or race I no more need someone to be blind to my race than I do for them to not see my height or my eye color,,, That is not what is meant by being racially color-blind. |

"Color-blind" is a figure of speech for someone who doesn't judge another person's character by skin color.
Sure, when it comes to bodily aesthetics - what one person considers to be sexually appealing - skin tone is a factor, along with height, weight, hair color (or amount) and any other physical feature. Yet, you can have one kind of opinion about another's outward attractiveness and still have a different opinion about the other's character. I see skin color when it comes to the former, but I ignore skin color when it comes to the latter. |

if you SEE skin color
you are not 'color blind' that's my point the term is a pc attempt to avoid discussing race, as if it doesn't exist or people don't 'see it',, when of course , they do I don't want a color blind world I want a color enamored world, where we not only SEE, but APPRECIATE the differences in color, culture, ethnicity,, or whatever |

Getting back to the topic of the OP ...
Why would a white political candidate believe it necessary to use a racial gimmick in order to win an election? Well, it's possible that the candidate feared he would be a victim of anti-white racism if he didn't. Yes, black racists do exist in the USA. Remember this?:  |

Remember this?: more individual racism, noone ever suggested it wasnt real and IM sure he may have felt he would be a victim of anti white racism, or he may have just felt he didnt have a strong enough campaign on its own merit to win,,,, he not only allgedly pretended to be black, but he was deceptive about who else supported him, which may have also been significant in swaying people who were supportive of his 'endorser' to support him |

I am just pointing out a possible motive for what he did. If enough anti-white racism exists within a voting district, then a white candidate in that district has a reason to be concerned about it. |

I agree, if something exits, those affected by it have a reason to be concerned about it,, even if they cant PROVE to others that it exists,, |

Otherwise, he will continue to look sleazy. |

I agree
I personally wouldn't care about whether his materials had pictures of black folks on it,, candidacy shouldn't matter on appearance anyhow,,,but if its intended to falsely represent who the candidate is COUPLED WITH providing names for 'supporters' hoping to deceive voters about who is supporting them there lies a problem |

The winning candidate was intentionally deceptive. If I were in his district and had voted for him, then I'd be sure to vote against him the next time because of his intentional deception. Indeed, I hope that he either resigns or gets voted out later. The existence of anti-white racism, both visible and invisible, doesn't justify what this person did. Two wrongs don't make a right. |
