A Post-Racial President?

And what tangible economic impact does the "racism", of these 'minorities' you speak of, have on the status and prospects of the 'whites'?

You people who try to fob "racism" off as harmless name-calling and insignificant prejudice are little better than apologists. The "racism" that needs to be eradicated is the racist discrimination that perpetuates real life concrete injustice and inequality of opportunity.

I don't think you can eliminate some types of racism without fighting all types of racism.

To say, "Well, we have to fight racism that hurts people but we can let racism without power behind it to stand" is not, IMHO, very realistic.

All racism has to be opposed.

what does this statement of yours have to do w/ the price of tea in China?

it depreciates the price by about $377/tonne, which would if allowed too flow back to the growers on the land, would give economic equity to those who now apparently enjoy social equality.

And who is it you think proposed such a thing on this thread?

More feigned ignorance. How revealing.

That seems to imply that racism that does not perpetuate real life concrete injustice and inequality of opportunity can be allowed to stand.

Should've been arrested on the spot, Philly police were asleep at the wheel that day. Probably were afraid of being called racist.

do you still think black people are out to take over white neighborhoods with their evil diversity?

Your whole post is "crying racism", so what are you benefiting from it may I ask?

In my experience, even though such problems as racism never just 'go away', the actions and attitudes of leaders has a very significant effect on public opinion. In Zambia, we had a change of president, and the new president spoke out against corruption. It was amazing ho ...[text shortened]... bia and as a result has made those problems far worse in Zimbabwe than they were previously.

there's no such thing as reverse racism, how could the post cry racism!?!?

true on the rest of it ... although you just get lucky if the leaders really mean. one can guess that most of the leaders are nominally against corruption. but a lot are actually in on it, so are just paying lip service. i wonder if estrada (phillipines) won on an anti-corruption platform (he was a populist), before being impeached.

Bravo. Pure pedantry. It is a comment about prioritization and proportion. Clearly.
