One of the primary assertions of the Un-Fair Campaign is that Whites are unaware of racism. That is a completely wrong assessment. As a White man, I am very much aware of racism. Each time I read or hear about African-Americans for Obama and Latinos for Obama, I am reminded of the racism, discrimination, and bigotry against my people and the unfair advantages enjoyed by Blacks and Latinos. When I read the results of the annual Miss Black America pageant, , I am reminded of the racism, discrimination, and bigotry against my people and the unfair advantages enjoyed by Blacks. When I see the closed-door meetings of the Congressional Black Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and LaRaza, I am reminded of the racism, discrimination, and bigotry against my people and the unfair advantages enjoyed by Blacks, Hispanics, and Mestizos. When I am asked to contribute money to the United Negro College Fund, Black colleges, and Black prep-schools, I am reminded of the racism, discrimination, and bigotry against my people and the unfair advantages enjoyed by Blacks. When I see magazines for Blacks, such as Jet, Ebony, and Essence in the supermarket checkout lane, I am reminded of the racism, discrimination, and bigotry against my people and the unfair advantages enjoyed by Blacks. When I see advertisements for Black Entertainment Television, I am reminded of the racism, discrimination, and bigotry against my people and the unfair advantages enjoyed by Blacks. When I am forced, literally at gunpoint by the federal government, to observe and comply with the numerous race-based federal laws written exclusively to benefit Blacks at the expense of Whites, I am reminded of the racism, discrimination, and bigotry against my people and the unfair advantages enjoyed by Blacks. So, yes, the Un-fair Campaign is completely wrong in the conclusion that Whites are unaware of racism, discrimination, and bigotry. As a White man, I am keenly aware of the racism, discrimination, and bigotry that exists in our society. It's quite difficult to miss. I doubt I am alone.
