Your people?!?!? You are my people if you are discussing race. Unless you don't have a single drop of white blood in you, my complexion is probably darker than yours.

but I have seen a huge swing in race obsession since Obama was elected and that is a fact
he is obsessed with it which is one of the things he was supposed to bring together
he and Holder are both a couple of bigots
yesterday I was driving by a house here in Atlanta and a black guy was on his porch he made my blood run cold with the look of poor hate in his eyes
a shame really
but there are whites who have just as much hate
as for me I am sick of it
I am sick and tired of the topic of race

As long as you think there is no hope that we can get along, we won't. I have no issues with people recognizing me as black. Treating me if fervently because of that is a different story. We need to recognize we have differences, but we don't need to treat people because of those differences.

You are just as bad as any white supremist. A lot whites are embarrassed by their words of hate, and hope their race isn't all judged by that hate, I feel the same way about you.

It just means that just about everyone judges people to some extent based on their race or ethnicity or culture. It doesn't mean that people necessarily hate someone because of their race or that the perceptions are always negative--but in general people judge on appearance including race or ethnicity. There's a line between the basic racism that's ingrained in most people based on stereotypes(and there's stereotypes for every culture in the world) and systematic racism meant to denigrate or hate an entire group.

It can be as simple as saying in conversation, "You just don't understand because you're ____(white/black/Hispanic/Asian/Samoan). The person in that situation is making a racial judgement. At the same time it might be true. Political correctness and this idea of teaching kids that "everyone is the same" is well-intentioned by at the same time it just sort of ignores some very fundamental realities about human nature--that we're very tribal animals.

Second, I wouldn't be so quick to quote Rasmussen on anything. Here he is "explaining" why his polls said Obama would lose. lol
