I don't even sit there and count up how many blacks and whites and Latinos and Native Americans and blind folks get nominations.
So maybe I'm a whole lot further along in developing my diversity than the poverty pimps who focus on such things all the while professing to advocate diversity.
The simple truth is this: the election of a black President brought about the final stage of white guilt. Almost half the white folks in the country voted for him the first time - and yet the guy has no time to do some of the important things but ALWAYS manages to weigh in on the latest black-white thing and AMAZINGLY ENOUGH he has NEVER come down on the side of the white guy at the expense of the black one.
Quite frankly, white America learned there's still going to be a lot of this (pardon the pun) emotional blackmail and as we get more and more people who were born long after the civil rights movement and had not a thing to do with fire hosing blacks or killing them - the appeal loses its effect.
And you know what is amazing - MOST whites and blacks get along with each other nowadays anyway even when they strenuously disagree on things. There HAS been positive change in my own life in interactions with blacks as years go by on both sides. Unfortunately, the media rabble rousers like Sharpton get the ink and play the same old game.
