14. White people
Man I truly feel sorry for you if you think that white people are incapable of making judgments as to the legitimacy of a claim of racism.

Just because someone is white doesn't make them a moron - which is what you would have to be to not recognize the blatant hypocrisy of many black politicians. That hypocrisy is what has decimated the Democratic party in the south - most white people have long since wanted to leave racial consideratons behind and treat everyone the same, but all they get from black politicians is accusations and guilt.

As Booker T. Washington once said:

"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs."
