I don't get it when people make statements implying there is no more racism in American because the President is Black.

Do people really believe that?

eh, you have to understand there is a lot of drama on these forums as well.

people are bits here. a lot of them play parts.

i have a hard time believe most people think like some do on this forum.

also, you have to remember anonymity is in play. people will say anything if they know they can get away with it

We should all be viewed as individuals, but so long as there are laws recognizing and then rewarding groups based on skin color, there will be racism.

In other words...so long as the majority ruling class is allowed to hoard everything for themselves and throw the scraps to the silent minority, then the majority ruling class has no basis or justification for racism or intolerance toward the silent minority.

And the people who blindly hate the Tea Party are clear proof that mental retardation might very well be highly contagious.
