Re: Black People
Basically disagree. Intolerance begets intolerance. If the news and politicians are highlighting illegal immigration and terrorism, it doesn't necessarily mean that we're less prjudiced against blacks, just that it's not a hot-button issue just now.
Historically, white Americans have feared the "other." Black Americans are less "other" these days as they have a presence in entertainment, sports and even corporate America that they did not have in the past. I think white Americans tolerate their increased presence among them because they have to, not because they have deflected their prejudices onto other groups.
