Last August, while speaking to a gathering of black columnists, Clinton quipped that she was "in an interracial marriage." It was a cute allusion to the now common joke about her husband being America's first black president. I rolled my eyes nonetheless. One of the columnists characterized her speech "as shameless pandering." For me it was just another example of how, on the one hand, Clinton tries to give the impression that she really gets black people and, on the other, covertly uses race to undermine the credibility of the only black candidate running for the Democratic nomination.
