The discussion is about race, but you interjected Obama's accomplishments as some sort of criteria and I simply pointed out that you continue to support Bush yet he has done nothing so that invalidates that last part of your statement!

Now as to being on point. I live currently live in the Southwestern part of the Nation and while there is some racism and bigotry here it is minor when compared to that which exists in the North, especially in the metropolitan areas. Boston, Hartford, Trenton, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland immediately to mind as cities where racial tensions have run high over the past decade or so. The same cannot be said of comparable metro areas in the South.
