Blacks, whites, and women get treated differently in America. I know that this is a hard pill for many on the right to swallow, but it is the truth.
A couple of years ago, ABC run an experiment on this. They chained up a bicycle in a park and had a white kid try to steal it in the middle of the day. Few people questioned him. When they did, he even told them that the bike was not his, but they did not do anything about it. Then they dressed up a black in roughly in the same attire. Within minutes, people confronted him and even called the cops.
Then they substituted a hot girl. Some even offered to help her steal the bike.
Right wingers like to pretend that blacks don't get treated differently in the US. They do. Obama is correct for saying so. Instead of calling Obama a race baiter for speaking the truth, why not admit this.

Can you actually find a person on the right that doesn't think people get treated differently because of their race or gender? It is a fact. Fat people get treated differently. So do short people. So do ugly people. Lots of people hate Asians and make jokes about them. But Asians do well in the US.
But that does not mean society needs to twist itself into a pretzel to make everything "fair" for everyone. Life will never be fair. It isn't anywhere in the world. People need to quit being victims anytime things don't go their way. Quit blaming someone else.

That is an excellent rationalization for separate, but equal laws.
How'd those work out?
Heck, why not bring slavery back or repeal the 19th Amendment. After all, these people should suck it up and accept the fact that life is not fair.
We don't need a TV show to tell us that racism and sexism is alive and well in this nation.
You will let me know when I can visit my local DMV and find white males employed there.
