There are many units in the army where white is the wrong color. Coming from a liberal San Francisco family,I did not expect that when I signed up. There were a few black soldiers who hated me at first but later became my friends. I was amazed to here that I was one of the first white people they had ever met. All they knew about white people is what their parents or church had told them.

Try thinking outside of the box. Perhaps people are not transforming reality in their heads but rather honestly speaking from real life experiences.

And the most important trait which you conveniently left out was the wealthiest, all the rest pretty much follow and come from that. Which is the primary reason laws like this are created in the first place. The questions that should come first and foremost is are they right and are they fair? We could debate these questions for days and get nowhere. I will say that a huge downside to laws like this is bringing up this vary issue. Dose this help people of a lower economic status more than it fans the flames of a still ongoing race issue? I do not have that answer for you today.

I will say that the commercial Sonya posted is clearly not a race issue. As I stated they showed a group of older white males, which people associate with rich white males. People don't make money by giving it away so they must show somebody working at their bank who doesn't appear to be rich. Who do they show? A black man. It's not about race, it's about economic status.

I may not agree with laws such as this one do to the fact that these things have a tendency to fan the flames. They created racial thoughts and discussions, such as this one which could harm the ultimate goal more than help it. However, I will not say African Americans have "had their day". I strongly opposed anybody of any race who voted for Obama just because he is black. I still do, and to anybody who has done so you were wrong.

I have said it before and I will say it again. There is an issue today dealing with racism which is being covered up by politically correctness. Sometimes a wound is too deep to be handled with a band-aid and underneath that band-aid and infection could occur. I am not saying this against any posters here I am just stating the the problem is there. I enjoy reading all of your opinions and hope that this can bring up a few positive points on the matter.

The first time I saw the commercial with the black guy and the white guy and the voice responsive music player, I laughed, after a few more times, I was annoyed, and after a few more times I felt insulted.

What is wrong with Keney G, the man is extremely talented. He is the kind of guy your girlfriend would listen to, be she black or white or asian or indian, so his inclusion in your music listing might simply mean that you are hetrosexual. A part of me wonders if he were black, if he wouldn't be held as some new messiah of the horn. If you bring a girl home, cook her a nice meal, you are more likely to get some second base actions with a Kenny G CD than Korn, or Tupac.

In that commercial there were some definately badly drawn tones.

This is just one good example of too many were white males are bashed in a way that would be completely unacceptable for anyone else.

Technically, he's not "true" black. He's half black.
