Anyone who seriously hopes to get elected to the Presidency of the United States will care, at least in part, what whites think (and what Latinos think, and what Asians think, and what Blacks think, and what everyone else who's a registered voter thinks), unless they believe that the Black vote alone could carry them to the Oval Office.

Don't care what whites think? That's fine, but you might be better off running for public office in an all-Black (or at least majority-Black) nation then. The US isn't such a nation. Yet.
