This article is the epitome of a thorough breakdown regarding where we are right now in terms of race and the 'conscious', not 'unconscious', mindset of so many whites. These people, whom are racist and still living within the mindset of being better than any and all blacks, and, other races are simply afraid of what's up the road after so many years of true 'white privilege.' Numbers 1, 4, and particularly 5 are of high interest. The following excerpt from a 1995 speech clearly shows how those same whites still feel today...that blacks and (D)'s are attacking the constitution (traditional U.S. values) just because they want 'hope and change' from what whites considered normal. Here:

Modern presidents who seek to transcend racial differences must now also consider a "new form of antiblack prejudice" that has arisen in the United States: "symbolic racism."[65] According to Michael Hughes, symbolic racism is a "new form of resistance to change in the racial status quo" that is "rooted in deep-seated feelings of social morality and propriety and in early-learned racial fears and stereotypes."[66] Symbolic racism represents the belief of many white Americans that black Americans "violate traditional U.S. values and thus do not deserve any special help." [67] Frequently, he explains, this attribute is manifested in white Americans' disapproval of social programs designed to promote equality for African Americans. Symbolic racism therefore poses additional challenges for those who try to improve race relations. Modern presidents who seek to mend the racial divide, for example, must not only address the "old-fashioned racism" of the past, but also the "symbolic racism" that exists in U.S. culture. President Clinton, I will argue, confronted both types of racism in "Racism in the United States."

Everything in this article still holds true today...15 years ago and the struggle is still real.
