True or False?•Now that Obama is U.S. President, racism does not exist anymore.
© 2012 Rey Ty
Note•"To echo the sentiments of NY Times columnist Charles Blow’s reference to Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum’s characterizations of blacks living on welfare: “the antiblack rhetoric has taken center stage” and it shows no signs of abating, unless the black community speaks up in a united voice. What they have neglected to tell voters is that non-Hispanic whites are the largest group on welfare, not blacks and not Hispanics." http://hinterlandgazette.com/2012/01/republican-party-continues-push-black-people-platform-play-racial-anxieties.html
