“Hollywood in Blackface” Out Today: Foreward by Gregory Hood
6th May 2011
To be an American today is to constantly experience this kind of cognitive dissonance. The world we read about in magazines and newspapers and see on our televisions and movie screens is a multiracial paradise complete with superintelligent black scientists leading us to a bright future, if only they can avoid the never ending threat of violent white racism. The world we actually live in is a largely segregated one where almost every white person, liberal or conservative, would rather commute hours to work and pay exorbitant gasoline prices rather than have to live among blacks.
It’s a world where largely white sports fans pay thousands of dollars for season tickets to cheer for largely black athletes, but take care not to send their children to an integrated school. It’s a world where standards are lowered so unqualified blacks can attend elite colleges and learn about “white privilege.” It’s a world where “flash mobs” of blacks randomly assault whites in fast food restaurants and mass transit systems, but law enforcement receives training from the Southern Poverty Law Center on how to combat white racism. Most of all, it’s a world where no one, black or white, wants to admit the truth of Black Run America – that we are a nation where nearly every institution is entirely devoted to protecting and promoting the interests of Black people above all others.

No link, Tim.
I don’t know if the excerpt shows exactly where the author is going with this idea. Generally, racism among whites in America is at an all-time low. It isn’t that whites don’t want to live near blacks – nobody would mind having the Huxtables next door – but they don’t want to interface with the socialist and incredibly polar culture that (primarily urban) blacks have embraced.

Sorry. Fixed now.
