The author of this article sounds like a very good, loony left, friend of mine who sports a "Racism is Typical" bumper sticker. I asked him recently (while camping up in Pt Reyes, in the SF Bay area, really beautiful by the way) whether he really believed that, and he replied that he believes that "racism is woven into the fabric of society."

The reason that the left is so focused on race and racism is that they are personally very racist and assume that everyone else is as racist as they are. Instead of admitting their own racism and confronting it, they want some socialist utopian "solution" that will make them feel good about themselves (and their deep-rooted racism) without doing anything about the problem.

I don't think that's right. I think the problem is that their political positions are more tenable when based on the assumption that most people are racist. I don't think leftist are any more racist, as a group, than anyone else.
