People keep asking can racial problems in America ever go away - the answer is the
perception of a problem is not going away at least not easily - but that's not because of entrenched racism, it's because liberals need the perception of the evil white overlord to persist in order to win elections and push their extremist agenda along - liberals need people of color to be poor and poorly educated and they need lefty whites to feel guilty about it so that the two can remain an easily manipulated voting bloc serving the progressive agenda - and as long as the mainstream media through silence and willful ignorance continues to endorse if not openly support this behavior it's never going away.
Which makes me think when it comes to the political process there's not a lot separating an extremist group like Hamas and the Obama presidency or the liberal elite in general - both feed off the poor and ignorant by stoking grievances that they know the left wing media and press are going to endorse and validate regardless of truth and reality because in Hamas' case the lefty media hates Israel and in America's case the lefty media hates conservatives or capitalism or white people in general or the colonial history of the West or democracy or God and guns and pick up trucks or the military or whatever the hell it is liberals just simply cannot abide, which often seems to be anything that does not comport with the way they believe the world should be.
Liberals are fundamentally and by nature, at least in their modern incarnation, not realists, not skeptics, not empiricists - they're idealists and quite naïve and delusional and vain and intolerant ones at that.
