re: #698 SanFranciscoZionist

That’s true, to some degree (you can find a lot more than ‘anecdotal’ evidence of racism all over). But that was all true before Obama came into office.

And out West, I can see how people buy into the Tea Party here for all kinds of reasons, our local racial problems being one of them.

It’s a bit more complicated than this incessant banging on ‘the South still has deep-rooted racism, therefore…something’.

I hear what you’re saying. I do know this stuff. But I also remember that Bill Clinton was accused of MURDER by these people, and, pace Maya Angelou, he actually was white.

There is Chinese, Native American and Hispanic racism in the West for as long or longer than the South.
