Well yeah. While everything and everyone isn't racist, the history of our country, the very recent history of our country, has it's roots in racism. And you can't just get around that reality, not even in 2007. Do people exploit that to their advantage, of course. But the cold reality is, the majority of the time a black person is implicated for wrong doing, rightfully or wrongfully, the issue of race and color will insert itself in that conversation 99 percent of the time.
