If your reason for not wanting someone as president is *because* he's black, 
that's racist. Now, if he'd said "I don't want the black candidate in 
office", he might have just been using a poorly-chosen adjective. But then 
he would have stopped and picked another adjective, rather than disclaim the 
inherent racism.

It's like when people write "no pun intended" and actually mean "I intended 
that pun, and I'm pointing it out in case you missed it."
