As a kid that grew up in the 70's and 80's long after integration, I was really blind to racism. We went to school, played ball, and went to church with black people. I never really spent much time worrying about it.
In high school, the black kids got scholarships and grants I was equally qualified for because they were black.
As a young adult, I was passed over for jobs, promotions, and low interest mortgages that favored minorities.
Now, I'm to blame for all of their problems because Obama says so.
This country is more racist now that it was since the 50's, and it's Obama's design. Now that we fight amongst ourselves, he gets away with just about anything.

Does anyone here actually feel like the overblown bullshite by the media really affects your own personal interactions with other races? I have never experienced any sort of racial tension with people I work with or know of other races despite this ridiculous trend to exploit race from both left and right media.

I'd say about 99.999% of all of us/races. It's pretty insane.

I work with people of different races every day. We talk about football and video games and small talk. Know a black guy that drives an hour and 45 minutes both ways every day to come to work.
I respect anyone who works hard to provide for their families.
I have no respect for the able bodied guys across the road from that work site that sit on the stoop of the gas station every day and smoke cigarettes and drink out of brown paper bags.
It's about character. Not color.

You go to work everyday, and when you get paid the government takes 40%. You pay another 10% when you buy something.
It's kinda make me want to sit on a curb and have a beer.

No. I only associate with intelligent and successful people of all races. Nobody I know personally thinks about this shite except in this type of forum. And I can guarantee I've never been passed over by a less deserving minority. If you have you probably aren't as awesome as you think you are. I have been "passed over" by a much more deserving minority once and a much more deserving female once. They were and are currently all-stars in the company and quite frankly the industry.

Can you really call "fry cook" an industry?

Bill Cosby could've done it but he got all rapey.
Shame a few indiscrtions made in his younger days still haunt him.

It was poor grammar, but there is no joke here.
If you only see racism as black and white, you might be confused.
Muslims, Jews, Blacks, Whites, Haves, Have-nots, Southern, Northern, Labor Unions, Big business, Hispanics, Christians, Males, and Females, look and you will find some media outlet stirring the pot between the in the past year.

My best answer is Pope Francis. He is humble and honest in his ministry to the less fortunate in the world.

We need another Martin Luther King, but I don't think anyone exists who would come close to his abilities.
Not sure why any of the above deserved downvotes
