5. Oh No You Didn't! I respectfully disagree with this post.
I'm glad this issue is coming up because until it did, those of us who see the racial bias on the left, something that is constantly and totally denied by virtue of the fact that no left wing person is ever viewed as having racial biases, always have to keep our mouths shut about it.

When Obama was elected, I told my wife that all the poison in the American character was going to come seeping out and that people who finally see how deep race goes in this country. I welcomed the fact that people would see how ugly it is. I fully expected the right to be exposed.

What I did not expect, and what opened my eyes, was the bias that gets exhibited by the left.

Made all the worse by the holier than thou attitude that the left always takes when it comes to race issues.

This society is so saturated in white supremacy, that even I, as a black man, have to fight what's been ingrained in me (and you) to not be prejudiced against my own kind.

Rather than get into a long dissertation about it, I'll just sum it up with a well=known saying in the black community:

The White Man's Ice Is Colder.
