Which party is trying to capitalize on "race"?
I think the Democratic wing of the Party has happily excelled at exploiting race and racial tensions for decades, Spag-hetti, using it to silence criticism and to cow opposition. The Republican wing of the party has been willing to eagerly benefit from the inevitable backlash, mainly 'whites', but runs for the hills in panic at the first whispered charge of 'racism'. That is, I think, why Dems have so eagerly relied on it as the Great Silencer. I do not think there are many voters who are any longer going to fall for that hustle simply because there are so many examples of races other than 'white' who have made it in America, and who hold high-powered positions of power in politics, society, and business. Your milage may vary.:-)
