I take it seriously. My husband takes it seriously. The President takes it seriously. Trent Lott takes it seriously now. I could name more.

It's not always the case that someone who claims discrimination based on race was actually discriminated against. But that doesn't mean racial discrimination isn't happening. I don't have a solution for it either.

You're terribly naive if you think a 50+year old black man has not experienced racial discrimination since he went to college.
