Sorry, yet i think of the Imus assessment is a purple herring. Obama reported that each and every physique "working for his marketing campaign" may well be fired, and that i'm constructive that had Wright been employed by using Obama, and had used racial epithets on an identical time as working for Obama, he could have been fired. yet Wright replaced into not an worker, he replaced into element of a loose association of supporters. extra importantly, Wright's comments weren't made interior the provider of Obama's marketing campaign. He in no way reported something hateful in an valid or unofficial ability. If Imus had talked approximately as somebody a nappy-headed hoe on an identical time as off the air, and Obama had argued that NBC could fireplace him, then we would be speaking apples-to-apples. yet it is not what occurred, so i think of it is an unfair assessment.

Racism has remained pretty steady. It however has chosen to wear a kinder, gentler looking mask to snipe from behind.
Gone are the "Good Old Days" when a white man could lay hands on any non-white, or Irishman they wanted to and beat them down. Now they do their beatings verbally or through financial control.

No, but racism is on the rise since Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have been spreading their filth. They are the true racists.

No the government and media want to keep racism alive because if they do that then they don't have to worry about everyone uniting against them. They use the old way of divide and conquer!

No, I think people in general are all racist. Its natural to feel superior to others. It's wrong but natural!
