85. I think I am guilty of the reverse

I might keep quiet about politics, but when talking to or near black people, I seem to think it's OK to talk about how great Obama is. Gotta remember that one of the ten black people who are voting for McCain might be there!

Really, I think you are right. Didn't think about being followed in stores, either. We white people need to hear these stories to remind us it's not as great for black people as we think it is. We get too easily comfortable thinking the racism thing has been solved.
