Don't pedal backward unless you're prepared to go backward

I'm getting fairly tired of hearing pundits ask "what does it mean that 1/2 of the black caucus in congress supports Hillary over Obama?" Why is this an issue? Maybe it simply means our country is continuing to make strides in caring more about what people believe and do than about what color they are. I sure don't want a congress where we expect the blacks to vote for blacks, the whites to vote for whites, the women to vote for women, and the homosexuals to vote for homosexuals. Suggesting it's an anomaly that the black caucus would choose a white candidate over a black candidate is an egregious insult to those representatives' intellect and leadership ability.
