Most whites were more comfortable w/ Palin possibly becoming president than Obama... ...which frankly tells you all you need to know about white Americans: we have an easier time seeing excellence and ability in a thoroughly mediocre, barely-educated white person, then a high achieving, highly-educated Black person. There's a word for that... ~ @timjacobwise White Person, Who Said, Twitter Web, Tweet Quotes, Obama, Need To Know, Infographic, Wise

"In my colleagues view, examining the racial impact of legislation only perpetuates racial discrimination. This refusal to accept the stark reality that race matters is regrettable. The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to speak openly and candidly on the subject of race, and to apply the Constitution with eyes open to the unfortunate effects of centuries of racial discrimination." ~ Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor Try To Remember, Political Opinion, Politics, Taken Quotes, Think Before You Speak, Civil Rights Movement, Conviction, Oppression
