Some of my best friends are black...

I hate it when certain folks use this as evidence to suggest that they aren't racist. What about "I don't even see your color." Really? You don't see my brown skin, my kinky hair, my broad nose? Are you BLIND? I'm actually insulted by that last one. Why don't you see my color? When something like that comes out of your mouth really examine where it's coming from. Then come back and tell me whether we're living in a post-racial America...Thanks.
