We would be silly to say that race issues don't exist in 2014.

The country has come a long way in race relations, but the pendulum swings so far back. Everyone wants to be so sensitive.

The race problem in the United States is the type of unpleasant problem which we would rather do without but which refuses to be buried.

It's a sad commentary when I have to say that sometimes in our country we are real sensitive to race.

Racial relations in this country are plummeting. Racial strife is rising. All the while, Obama is out there talking about unity and bringing us together.

The thing about it is, all those races we lost, we won this race together. We won it as a team.

Race is still the No. 1 determinant in every election.

One would like to say in the aftermath of the 2008 election that everyone lived happily ever after. But the American drama, especially when it involves race, is always more complicated than that.

Every race I've been in, I calculated race into the equation. If you're in America, you calculate it into the equation. It is a factor. I never make it an issue. I don't run the campaign wearing it on my sleeve, but I don't run away from it, either.

Though race-related issues continue to occupy a significant portion of our political discussion, and though there remain many unresolved racial issues in this nation, we, average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about things racial.
