re: #99 Obdicut

No, apparently you don’t understand either irony or denial. Denial would be saying “nope, no problem here”, Instead I said there is a problem, but I disagree with what he claims are the root causes. I would agree that a stronger case for denial could have been made in the 50s and 60s where there was stronger racism, and no education about it, and most white people tried to pretend there wasn’t a problem.

However, now, it’s much more vocal, and while still a problem, it’s not being denied on a societal level like the 50s and 60s, but by groups like right wing bloggers, etc.

The average American student is learning what they should about the history of race relations and is getting a great exposure to the problems of our countries past, so I don’t think denial is the primary cause anymore.
