No other issue than race matters

A Bermudian living abroad writes in:

OK, and in all seriousness, come on (and this is coming from someone who lives in a country where only some people can criticise the national leader without penalty, and where those who are punished for it win Grammys). If that poster in today's paper proves anything, it's that politics in Bermuda are completely racially polarized. And really, no other issue than race matters. So to hell with health care, jobs, and homelessness. Criticize the political leadership and get "black-listed." (Oops!)

If the gentlemen who protested your blog think you are racist because you are White and the leadership is Black, doesn't that make them racist since they believe that the only reason that you would be critical (other than your political affiliation) is because of your racial group membership? I wonder...
