A blanket accusation of racism such as Wilkerson makes here, is crap. If you're going to make an accusation of racism, name names, and supply evidence to make the case.
The vague, vaporous accusations like this are arguably a racist tactic in themselves, designed to exacerbate racial division and mistrust.
Those who are falsely accused are bound to be inflamed, those who buy into the false accusations will be inflamed, and genuine victims of racism now find it harder to obtain justice due to a 'boy cries wolf' effect.
Granted, the tactic is working like a charm for Democrats--Obama won 80% of the non-white vote in 2012. Even Hillary Clinton complained bitterly about the race-baiting tactics of Team Obama after the 2008 primaries. It does seem to work, but in the meantime Dems (and people like Wilkerson and Powell) are creating a nation that is moving backwards, away from MLK's dream.

Exactly as it is that many voted for Obama because they believed him the better choice and/or lesser evil than the Cranky Old Man and the Ditz or Mr Smarm and didn't give a rat's ass about his color either.
You mean like the Democrats do? Pot, please meet the kettle!

I find it odd how somehow, miraculously, the only racism Conservatives see is when they want to falsely accuse Liberals of doing it. Even if we did give you the benefit of the doubt that racism on the Left exists like you pointed out, that's still a 10:1 in favor of Republicans.
Pablo Ponteja, former State Director of Florida Hispanic Outreach for the Republican National Committee, renounces his republican affiliation and becomes a democrat. Here is a quote from his letter :
Who gives a rat's behind what Powell thinks or says.
He is just another racist who voted for Barack HUSSEIN Obama only because of race !
I know!! I haven't cared what he thinks since he mysteriously stopped carrying water for the war criminals in the previous administration. Jerk.
