Nobody’s really color-blind, especially politicians - not any one of them.
I’ve encountered many overly sensitive Black people; but even independent-thinking Conservative Black people often take the history of discrimination seriously. More than one has told me about having ‘the talk’ with their sons. It’s less a worry than it used to be, but in times past they were nervous even to let their sons drive their luxury cars, especially in areas like this one.
Got way worse since Obama/Holder egged things on. I know white people who still use the N word. My dad was a real bad racist. GD N word on a regular basis. 20 years later, I was self employed in the sign business and often worked with a fellow self employed black guy. We hung off a 16 story building together to install a Marriott sign. We trusted each other with our lives and money and considered each other as friends. He was straight from the hood and sounded like it but read USA Today every day because it had more world news than the local paper.
Yep, no one’s color blind and everyone stereotypes.
