Or at least be able to view the problems from a different viewpoint. We are in our own little worlds, focused on that which is immediately around us, while someone outside is able to see a larger interaction that we in our daily lives cannot since we are so accustomed to it and/or our perception doesn't reach much beyond ourselves.<br><br>btw, there are still many white only organizations, not to mention gender specific, wealth specific, nationality specific, language specific, faith specific, age specific, etc. , so don't just focus on the black specific because it isn't the only instance and makes it seem you are against it for that particular reason.

Does the writer really understand that the U.S. still has black only universities, black only fraternal organizaqtions, radio stations and television programs that aim specifically at blacks. Does the writer really understand how segregated Sunday morning is in the U.S.?<br><br>Unless a writer in a different country really understand how the U.S functions in day to day life, then the way that whites view Obama makes no sense.
