>>Not a racist observation, just an obvious one...<<
No, actually it is racist.
Check with any African and see what they think of American blacks.
You will see that there is a difference eventhough the skin is the same. And along with that, my sister, my nieces and my great-nephews are as hard working (well not the babies) and conservative as I am. You see a problem with them because of the color of their skin.
The problem is you.
