Any White Guy Will Do

A recent poll by the Associated Press shows that 52% of white Amnericans harbor negative attitudes towards Blacks and other minorities. This is in contrast to 2008 when 48% did so. The apparent worsening of racial bias, if it is true, is troubling. It would suggest that racism has become an extricable part of American life and culture.

The politics of racism has been going on since Reconstruction, if not earlier. If it has fallen right now, maybe it never will. Or what can you say except "It was billionaire jagoffs like Mitt Romney who took your job, your home, and your future. But I guess the privilege of having a white skin is more important."
