I never said race doesn't matter. Just that it wasn't behind my critique of Jeffries. You suggested it was. In fact, I did say I thought race was a primary factor in Harris' loss. Not once did I say race doesn't matter ever, or in general.

I worked on a grocery stock crew that was 90% black. I was only white guy, with 1 Hispanic. I saw racism first hand @ the groc store, and it was never directed @ me. Tim, another friend on the crew, and I did an experiment once. We stocked ailes in tandem.

Anytime white person would ask us where to find items in store, I would lie, he would be true. If they were black, we would reverse, he would lie, I would be true. Our lied directions were always opposite direction of truth.

We would then watch what direction they went. Nearly everyone believed me over him . . black or white. Sometimes black cust. would ask again, and we'd both sing true. He predicted it would happen that way. I didn't believe him. It was an eye opening experience.

I worked on that crew for a year and half b4 leaving Tx. Sorry, I won't mention names for who I know now; just that it is still fairly diverse, and includes more Muslims and ppl from India than previously.
