If you don't think that racism is behind much of the opposition to Obama, then I don't think you understand the role of race in America.

And to claim that white people are at a political or economic disadvantage in this country is just pure fantasy.

What would you call it when the government looks at your race and decides, "You can't bid on this project", or "You don't qualify for this job/promotion"?
As a whole, I agree, the white race cannot claim to be disadvantaged.
But, as individuals, many whites are denied equal opportuninty.

Crude attempts to remedy centuries of economic, cultural, and governmental racism.

That's true. In some cases that discrimination is the lesser of two evils. Other times it's just wrong.

What a brainwashed twit "In some cases that discrimination is the lesser of two evils." Statements like this are impetus for hurling.

Ok, so lets put this in perspective...I am a first generation American of caucasion complexion. Not saying my heritage is black or white but I look white. My family was never involved (in any respect) in the human slave/rum/sugar complex of big business of the times but yet because I appear to be white I can be discriminated against today and it's ok because of ....? wtf

Yes that is certainly true. I navigated the waters of political correctness in San Francisco city Government as a career, for over 20 years, and I know that VERY well.....

Anyone think these type of people are the bulk of the town hall protests? Or do you feel that this is just a small portion of them?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rTps4Iau1E&feature=related
