They're not the most racist, they're just socially allowed to be more open about their prejudices. Most people in the US are about equally "racist", it's just that white people can't get away it openly like blacks and some other minorities can due to the culture of political correctness.

Really? Since when? I guess from the 1800s to the 1960s those darn negroes have been lynching, firehosing, and beating on those poor old white folks for fun

Really? So if you see a white police officer beating the crap out of someone that you know is not a criminal and you protest that beating, does that constitute "pulling the race card"?

The only time that ethnicity (not race) is not important when you are on the top of the food chain, to those of us on the bottom you are reminded of it everyday depending on where you live.

I doubt if he can tell the difference between AAs and other black people anyway

Because the republicans vilify black people to shore up the racist factions in their ranks. You are correct blacks as a whole are more conservative than their voting blocks.

That doesn't make it "important" that makes one aware. That doesn't mean it has importance in itself. Also, know your audience before making assumptions about them.
