Have race relations improved since the election of Barack Obama? It may be a bit too early to say but I would HOPE that we have the AUDACITY to WORK for Racial JUSTICE.

Sounds like liberal drivel to me.

@pris72 Why is that conservatives are held hostage with being called racist. You have conservatives in the democratic party. Conservatives tend to view America as flawless and colorblind where in fact it isn't. If conservatives would reach out to minorities without pandering and getting away from their message then the racism label will wither. It must stop with demonizing President Obama because blacks are still attached to him, it is a reality that conservatives can't grasp or accept.

I am just sick of being called a racist simply because I am a conservative. I have never judged anyone based on their skin color. The democratic party I feel are to blame for keeping racism alive. To me it is is almost like they get a thrill out of doing so. Growing up I never had any problems at all with race relations. I can get along with anyone, granted they are good people.

You say "we" as if you had a choice in being born a particular skin color. The shear idiocy in this video isn't even demonstrated by blunt racism against the white male, but more of the message that people are at fault for a genetic gamble of which they had no choice in deciding. The fact that this was a historical election is proof that race relations will never improve; racism is quite instinctive for in darwinism, all speciies and sub-species seek to remove any disturbance to the gene pool.

I grew up in a racially mixed area in LA and had wonderful friends. I learned about racism thru living. My school was mostly white and had few problems but I had white friends that went to mostly black schools that were afraid every day. Blacks in white neighborhoods and stores were fine while whites couldnt even walk down the street in Watts. I had a hard time understanding this as a young person when I was taught in school about how mistreated the blacks were talk about confused.

If you want America to work for racial justice (please define), then everyone has to quit calling each other names and actually start listening & conversing. I don't feel I can share anything, lest I get called "racist". When I hear someone "crying racism", I've just quit listening - too much crying wolf. I have a little more hope for now & the future - I respect your efforts & hope you keep talking. I'm listening and will share your channel with my friends. Be well.
