Rangel Apparently Frustrated at the Lack of Racism

If you've been keeping track of the Democrats' self-immolation over the issue of race during the past week, you know that the candidates have been trying to get their supporters to knock it off. Today's Washington Post has a great article with quotes from the people still pouring gasoline on the flames, including a bizarre quote from Charlie Rangel:

The people who are injecting race into the campaign are overanalyzing poorly worded statements or meaningless slips, said House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel (N.Y.), a Clinton supporter who is African American.

"I'm angry because I'm looking for the white people that are insulting me, and I can't find them," Rangel said.

This one could have used some more context. Is he really saying what I think he's saying?
