I personally have worked side by side with black people. I have had a black boss twice. I really never saw their race as an issue. It seems like the only people that are even making race an issue any more are the media, and people who want to cry racism to get their way. I was accused once of being a racist by a black man. We got into an argument over a bill. Out of the blue he asks me, "do you have a problem with my race?" He was losing the argument and just threw that crap out there. That is where I have a problem. That and the pc "african american" thing. I will tell you who is a racist. Oprah. But you don't hear the main stream media call her that. Let Jay Leno have Palin on, and deny Obama a spot on late night, and he would have been unemployed by the end of the week.

But when you say blacks are like Thoroughbreds, and whites are like Clydesdales, implying there is an across the board difference in intelligence and athleticism, you are making their race an issue. It's the point where you draw distinctions.
