>>And I know more than a few people who voted for Obama precisely because he was black. Which is the more racist?

Racism isn't, nor ever, has been confined to just one ethnic group of people. It's in many places, and more common then most think. Thanks for illustrating my point.

But there's a huge difference between how people think and what people do. Actionable racism is in decline. Perhaps people THINK certain ways, but we've become accustomed to calling damned near everything racist.

I would have to agree here. Actionable racism is declining perhaps. That one we would have to look at hate crims % from city to city. Bare in mind it happens both way thought. You are correct, some will twist anything into making it look like racism. 'You lie=racism' See how easy that was?
