From: "Robert G Lewis" <r.g.lewis@comcast.net>

No I'm not saying that, just that the current culture of Blacks is based in
their history. Their perception of racism is based on their history.What you or
I may consider to be a proper gesture may not be perceived as one by them.

Although I am certain that Racism ( of multiple types) is not dead in this
country so I'm not as quick to rule it out as a factor in anything.

Had Dean said that the problems were CAUSED by the RACISM of the REPUBLICANS
and President Bush I would agree totally with your outrage.

As a factor I would not rule it out. This is the south and although its a lot
better it still has a way to go. Gary was right in one post though too much is
still being blamed on whites by certain black politicians. I can assure you not
all whites here are as color blind as you <g>

I hope this clears it up some.
