Yes there are still some race issues

But bullshit like this belittles real problems that should be addressed. http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?ContentBlockID=9c11c6dc-bbb6-4079-8c23-204a9d170125&

They must be overstaffed; or wrongstaffed.

I've noticed that all the school crossing signs have only black people crossing the road in front of traffic. They had better get somebody on that right away.

And by making a public fuss about stupid things like this, they demean the reputation of their organization, and make it less likely for people to listen to them over the really important issues.

In that line of thinking, you must be a racist, because you are typing about it.

they have a reputation - National Assoc of Always Complaining People - any creditability they might have had is long gone

Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.

Post-Racial Liberalism: Its Origins and Trajectory

To be fair, of course, the rhetoric of post-racial liberalism wasn't something invented by the current President. Rather, it has its roots in the period immediately following the passage of civil rights laws in the 1960s. It was Daniel Patrick Moynihan, for instance -- an advisor to President Johnson before becoming a United States Senator -- who first suggested that the nation would do well to engage in "benign neglect" when it came to the issue of race.

According to Moynihan, persistent inequities between whites and blacks could best be addressed by the passage of race-neutral, universal programs to help all in need; that, in addition to focusing on presumed cultural defects in the black community, from single parent families to crime to an inadequate attachment to education and the labor market. While conservatives made some of the same arguments about so-called black cultural pathology during this period, what distinguished post-racial liberalism from the new cultural racism of the right was its stated commitment to reducing racial disparities, albeit by non-racial means.
