He and other black people have expressed similar things prior to Obama. And he's right. Racists aren't as obvious as the KKK was back in the day, and many of them do, in fact, wear suits.

Pointing out evil does not make one evil.

This is true, as there are still racists today and there always will be. However, I don't believe blacks face any more racism today than do whites, hispanics, or asians. In fact, people go out of there way to ensure "fairness" to black through giving out academic scholarships and even hiring them for jobs, though other non-blacks may be more qualified. From the context of his statements, especially when he brought up Obama, it contained some hate in it IMO. For him to blatantly call anyone who is against Obama as racist, that inherently makes Aaron just as evil/racist as the KKK members he hates. I'd bet my life savings that Aaron couldn't name 3 things he likes about Obama's policy. If Obama was hispanic, would he have brought him up?
