[lit-ideas] Re: Pinch Michael Moore

Simon: This [electing a black president] is a big thing.
It's not suffiicent to say that race is exclusively self proclaimed when race is also defined by the kind of societal ills mentioned in my previous post. Racism isn't just a personal hatred of people with different coloured skin, it's also the existence of societal deprivations that can be categorised by the colour of that skin. Sure there's going to be a black president and yes there's black lawyers and judges and legislators, but there are still black (and hispanic) ghettos.
Get rid of the ghettos and you'll get rid of racism. You can't just wish it away by telling people to ignore skin colour.

Electing Barack Obama wasn't affirmative action!
