Apparently there is, once you start looking at facts and get past the emotional hype.

RE: White racism may cost Obama the election
Why worry about it? No matter who gets elected, the people get screwed. There is no viable choice for us, since we don't own multinational corporations, or donate millions annually to our nation's leaders.
Frankly, I think they should all be shot, just for wanting to be a politician in the first place. I'd say load 'em all into a spaceship and fire it into the sun, except that much BS hitting the photosphere would probably cause the sun to nova...

Sorry, but cliches don't change the truth. In my work, impartial rigor and ruthless honesty get you right answers that lead to solutions... clinging to unfounded biases and preconceptions keeps you in trouble.

You're right, losing money, education, and a career to someone less qualified than you because of your skin color is way worse than not getting a cab because of your skin color.

You can cling to whatever you wish the facts remain the same...You are just flat wrong.

Ok, I guess I just imagined minority scholarships, the UNCF, and Affirmative Action. Shouldn't scholarships and jobs go to the most deserving?

Curiously, the facts say I'm right. It's ignoring the facts that allows one to say otherwise.

Fo, just because you "could care less" doesn't eliminate certain advantages given to less deserving people simply because of race.

If I said that to a minority what do you think the backlash would be?
