109. Extreme ignorance on display
http://www.ferris.edu/htmls/news/jimcrow/question/

Above is the link to the Question of the Month section of the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia. Some links are enlightened, some are not. Those that are not are the usual "why do you talk about race so much?" or "you're a racist because you talk about race!" or "white people participated in the Civil Rights Movement" or the "why are you sleeping with 'the enemy'", etc. You don't need to call Psychic Friends Network to guess who wrote those letters.

The point is to show that as long as racism is only considered one of many shortcomings of ignorant individuals without regard to the institutional structure of the racial caste system that absolves responsibility and accountability, US society will go nowhere. :(
