This is no 'social trend,' it is merely one person's subjective impression. Nothing more to it than that.
It does seem an epidemic of ignorance has developed since President Obama was elected to our nation's highest office. Those who don't accept the fact that a man of color holds that office were shaken to their core when he was elected and no matter the consequences to our nation they hope he fails.
McConnell, Boehner, Cantor and others will sacrifice anything in their efforts to discredit and criticize every word The President utters and ever policy he proposes - even if their motive is not based on the color of his skin, and only on their lust for power, what they have done (and not done) during President Obama's first term is despicable.
It is dishonest and irresponsible for you to try and mix up your personal political views and the subject of this thread the way you just did. You should be ashamed of yourself for doing so. It makes you a bad citizen. As for the first part of your unfortunate post, provide some real proof or stop with the empty dramatizing.
Ah, I see what you're saying now. Somehow it is Obama's fault that people are racist and not afraid to express their racism.Of course, but what study would cover a change in attitude that the group in question is afraid of uttering a single sylable of for fear of becoming a social pariah?.
Then why make baseless generalizations?
OK, I will explain it again and type really slow for you, lol.
I am talking about it because I am coming across this kind of stupidity at an ever increasing frequency, and this has exploded since Obama got elected. He has fanned the flames of hidden white racism inadvertantly, mostly by not censoring Holder.
I am concerned about this; that it doesnt seem to be worthy of being on your radar screen does not reflect on me.
You don't need to type slowly, you need to read carefully. The subjective impressions from your one tiny, less-than-significant life are no basis upon which to form conclusions about the state of race relations in the country as a whole or any reasons therefore. You could have just said, 'hey, I seem to notice more racist jerks now that obama is president. what about you guys?' But no, you had to over-reach and try to play Jr. Sociologist. That is where you went off the tracks.
I am not playing anything, Einstein. I am simply sharing observations, and yes, trying to see if anyone has experienced similar things.
So you're saying the problem is that you communicate so poorly? Could be.
The people who were racists 10 years ago, by and large, are still racists. However, I think the overwhelming majority of people aren't racists. And, I live in the South. I think it's a lot better down here than it was a decade ago when I moved here, mainly because a lot of the older generations are getting elderly, and the young kids coming up aren't racist at all, for the most part.
This is no 'social trend,' it is merely one person's subjective impression. Nothing more to it than that.
As much as it pains me to agree with anyone who epitomizes stupidity as clearly as yourself, I must agree: How is anyone aware of anything, including changes in social attitude, if it is "Hidden."
Apparently the only one that sees it is the OP?
Perhaps the OP would like to express his opinion regarding other "hidden" racial mysteries?
Is the Easter bunny actually a black or white rabbit?

Yup....the crackers who used to be able to talk smack in the open are dying off.
Now they're in hiding.
Hang around enough folks from the deep South you'll find them. Especially if you hang around blacks.

That is just awesome.

Are you serious? There is both the necessary (as probative of my opinon) and sufficient evidence on this message board alone that racism and racists have come out of the closet since President Obama took office.
Only racists say racism doesnt exsist

No one else seems to be having a problem getting it, Dude.

You take this message board as representative of the country as a whole? Are you fucking high?

I m not talking about mere bigotry or preference for ones own. The sspread of white attitudes that dismiss blacks as sub-human, in effect, is becoming more blatant with each day.
The comments on this story:
Cops: Teen Beaten Unconscious Following Dodge Ball Fight « CBS Houston
illustrates what I am talking about. This kind of thing was not often read on sites prior to Obama and when they did bob to the surface like a toilet bowl floater, they were almost immediately denounced in such strident terms that the idiot would go elsewhere.
Not any more.
And having grown up in the South in the sixties, I remember that the sort of people who would talk racist trash post 64 were a minority of low income whites, but not educated whites. In the past two weeks I have overheard three racist comments by white men who were dressed proffessionally and twice I was told to my face blatantly racist things like, 'F^&* Obama, that damned N*$%^r. Things wont get better till that monkey gets thrown from office.'
The guy who said that wasn wearing a sweat stained blue collar shirt, or overalls like one might have expected low-brow racists to wear after the 64 Civil Rights Act. This man is a financial pro handling lots of loans to commercial outfits and was very well dressed at the time.
Obama has failed to lead this country toward a non-racial vision, instead giving free reign to the race baitors and making the situation far worse.
I pray it does not explode, but I fear it eventually will.

They can thank the Obama administration and the campaign arm of that. Educated whites are not becoming 'more racist', they are becoming less PC. Meaning issues like affirmative action and such have lost support.

Are you insinuating that the more overt forms of bigotry and racism are in the majority of "liberals" who no longer support such issues as "affirmative action"?
