&gt;  Ask yourself, when was the last time you heard a politician or business leader mention the problems of European American &quot;white&quot; communities?<p>Hillary Clinton, in one of the early Democratic primary debates.<p>It was an amazing display of skill.  Clinton was asked by a black member of the audience how she, as a white woman president, would improve the lives of black Americans.  She somehow turned the question around, and by the end of her answer, she was talking about a recent study on the declining health of poor whites and how she would help them.<p>And the audience actually applauded!  Nobody there -- either black or white -- seemed to notice how artfully she dodged the question and presented one of her limitations as an apparent strength.  I was floored.
