Obamalla on vielä paljon työtä edessään, sillä USA:n valkoinen enemmistö syrjii yhä "vääränvärisiä" kansalaisia systemaattisesti rasistisin perustein. Tutkija Dedrick Muhammad kirjoittaa:
"Too many white Americans have surrendered to the circumstance of racial inequality, blaming racial inequality on the inferiority of disenfranchised groups rather than the systemic disenfranchisement faced by these groups. In the past the rationale for racial inequality was a belief in the inherent mental deficiencies of people of color - today the rationale for racial inequality is belief in deficiencies of morality or the work ethic of people of color. Yet, there are some who are willing to go beyond the standard racial justifications of contemporary racism. Thousands of white Americans are showing this kind of courage by participating in a week of White Privilege Awareness events occurring March 30th to April 5th. In Washington DC Resource Generation will have a viewing of "Traces of the Trade", a documentary that follows white descendents of slave traders and their struggle with the privilege attained in their family through profiting off of the Transatlantic slave trade. The Global Awareness Project, also in Washington DC, will host a panel discussion as to how white privilege is an issue and challenge in the multi-racial Latino community. Finally there will be a national gathering in Memphis, where Dr. King was assassinated, to discuss and strategize how to courageously stand up to address white privilege and racial inequality."

Viime vuosina rasistiset rotuopit ovat tehneet paluuta länsimaissa. Maahanmuuttajien ja vähemmistöjen syrjäytymistä on jälleen alettu selittää "rodullisin" perustein sen sijaan että nähtäisiin todellinen syy eli rasismi. Tämä ajattelutapa on huolestuttavasti leviämässä Suomeenkin.

Hieman kannattaa harjoittaa lähdekritiikkiä.

Aivan, ja pienellä googlettamisella kaveri löytyikin. Olisikohan "tutkija" Muhammad hieman puolueellinen?
pressana ja muhametti profeettana, kunnon amerikkalainen tulee säilyttämään terveen realismin elämänsä ohjenuorana. god bless white america.
