Not so much any actual racist behavior by any actual white people, but rather the charge leveled against political opponents of President Obama. Obama's election supposedly ushered in a new post-racial era where old animosities would fade from memory, but if anything, charges of white racial vitriol are as prominent as ever. Let me try to explain this eruption and suggest why accusations of white racism will become increasingly strident. In a nutshell, white racism has become the glib reason for imperfect racial progress, and the term's definitional fuzziness, it's resistance to scientific confirmation makes it The American Thinker http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2346227/posts#comment Wed, 23 Sep 2009 10:23:29 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2319857/posts Amid the orchestrated phony protests over President Barack Obama’s health care reform efforts, a new report by the Southern Poverty Law Center, SPLC, documents another threat to the health of the Black community and the nation’s stability: rising racism within right-wing militias. In its report entitled “Return of the Militias,” the Southern Poverty Law Center points out that the militia movement, that faded in the 1990s, is back and that “One big difference from the militia movement of the 1990s is that the face of the federal government — the enemy that almost all parts of the extreme right see...

Scholarships permitted me to attend art college where I hung with hippies. While the hippies preached peace and love, most were extremely angry at America. There I was, a black student from the ghetto of east Baltimore, who could not figure out what these spoiled white kids from well to do families were so p-o-ed about.
