BgMc, you're one of my favourite posters on this board and obviously highly educated. Not just academically, but you seem to very well travelled if you know what I mean (vast worldly experiences).

As for my question, do you believe everyone is inherently racist to a degree and do you think racism will ever go away? For instance, instead of saying "I saw a white/black man walking down the street" a time will come when someone will simply say "i saw a man walking down the street"? I remember Chris Rock saying "No white boy would ever swap places with me, and im RICH!".

Also, how do you think Americas first black President has done since taking to office? Especially here on this board there seems to be a lot of resentment for him...prehaps not as close to Bush hate, but resentment none the less. Are people justified in their resentment, or are they just pissed off republicans?
