Today it is mocked and the internet age and tea party has made it harder for anyone else to trust white American's like me even though I also part an Obama hybrid story myself tied to recent immigrants. Even in the hispanic community I see EIGHT different groups that have emerged, Mexican, Cuban, PR, other central and south American also divided by those who want to assimilate and those who want a spanish first society they hide in..

As a white man, what was the big wake up call for me was how whites reacted after the riots in LA. I had always seen LA as a liberal city. As it turned out, It wasn't all that true. Masks dropped all over the place and white people began to voice to other whites what they had previously said in the privacy of their own homes. It was a disgusting time. Since leaving LA, I have learned its one of the most naturally segregated cities in the country.

Racial issues are still very much alive in this country..........and I believe have become intensified with the Obama presidency.
