What an amazingly obtuse rant. The only things that count--for "blacks" and "whites" alike, are racial. The stupid media-pollster concept of "demographics" is embraced. The "white" working class and the "white" youth are hopelessly reactionary but obsessed with racial guilt. Mr. Ford seems very resentful indeed that noone in his chosen "demographic" is listening to him.
