Here is another thing: Conservatives tend to be the ones who will point to the election of a black president as demonstration that America is not racist.....Yet....they are not the ones who voted the black president in. The use the actions of liberal whites to demonstrate that white "they" as white people, are not racist and that racism is not a problem.....all while "they" voted against him.

Oh the irony.
This is an awesome post. It simplistically exposes the hypocrisies of the right wing.

I would like some examples to help my accept your thesis.

The fact that you don't even get it is mind boggling.

I don't know what the "liberal" and "conservative" stuff have to do with this. There are plenty of racist liberals as there are racist conservatives.

I hope these emails expose more of Hollywood's true feelings.

Sony Hack: Studio Warned Not to Cast Denzel Washington Due to His Race - Breitbart

Good thing they reversed course with Denzel Washington in "The Equalizer". Washington is my favorite "modern" actor (I like Clint Eastwood and Jimmy Stewart from older movies) and have never seen one of his movies I did not like. However, unlike libs, when I see him, I see a great actor, not a great BLACK actor.
why do you think corporate executives at Sony are necessarily liberals?

They're confusing the talent with the heads. Actors would tend to lean to the left but execs would lean to the right.

It's been shown that simply attending business school tends to make students more conservative in their views. Business is not a liberal-friendly atmosphere---it's cut-throat, it's bottom-line, it's unethical.

That's only your personal race relations that have gone to hell, and that doesn't account for much. The most of the rest of us get along just fine.

You shouldn't put your hang ups on everyone else just because you feel a certain way. Speak for yourself only.

One question: Are there any conservative executives who have given Blacks lead roles?
