Are you suggesting this country is no longer racist? As long as there are some people who are as ignorant as you are, there will always be societal scourges like racism, etc. However, for the country as a whole, we have certainly come a LONG way in race relations as is no more neatly summed up than by BHO's election itself. While I may disagree vehemently with BHO's policies, his election is something for all US citizens to be proud of. Your statement regarding (R)'s and (I)'s who would have voted in greater number for BHO if he was white is yet another sweeping generalization, a technique used by you in many of your sillier posts...and it is just another confirmation of your stunning ignorance.

This country is a country of laws. The laws of the land are not racist, quite to the contrary they are anti-racist to the point of a legal sensitivity to related issues. So, you are wrong, this country is not racist. There are and always will be individuals and groups who are threatened by people who are different than they are and who are vigilant to the point of vindictive conduct, that is certainly not the norm in our culture. Any institutionalized segregation, discrimination, bigotry, and general intolerance of differences has been eliminated from cultural mores. Open racism is unpopular and politically incorrect. You are one of the few who has been bold enough to express it on an SI discussion thread. But you justify it by claiming it is everybody else. Insidiousness is always justified that way, just as liars justify their lies, bullies justify their brutality, and cheats justify their corruption.

>> Yes, I am. Why? Are you suggesting this country is no longer racist? I won't speak to liberals at large. But you are, without a doubt, the most racist person on this thread. You are chronically bringing up "racial differences" where none exists. You are constantly pointing out the Obama is black when no one else has any reason to concern themselves with it. And I would say it some of the worst racism in existence. It is insidious. At least with the Klan you knew where they stood. With you it is always some kind of underhanded racist slam against others. Racism is all but dead in America. For most of us. I live in a place where racism was once the order of the day. But today I see inter-racial couples everywhere, nobody I see blacks treated equally in every respect. The true racism in America today is amongst those people who attack whites for being white. And you are worse than any I've known.

Ted, > Are you suggesting this country is no longer racist? Of course not. I only have to read your posts to remind me that this country continues to be racist. Tenchusatsu
