I suppose I really shouldn’t be surprised or shocked by the white womans tale. I see plenty of cars with obie ‘08 and ‘12 stickers on them driven by guilty white folks who’ve bought the garbage hook, line and sinker. Individual thought process? Nope. But then again, it all depends on whose “facts” you choose to believe.

Reminds me of a very astute guy I know who brings a great historical perspective to his analysis of political and social trends. He says the period starting in the 1960s in American history will be remembered as the start of our nation's decline. He marks that decline as the time when America's middle class began adopting the dysfunctional folkways and morals of the country's former slaves.

I think about that statement every time I drive past an ordinary-looking white person in an expensive SUV with an Obama bumper sticker on it.
