19. to me the way michael moore talks about race makes light of the whole thing

i see it too much over certain types and in the end it's more about them rather than wanting to do anything about the issue.

as if race is about just bashing white men . and in the case of michael moore and others who think they are liberal they think if they attack republican/conservative whites that's all it takes.

it totally misses the institutional issues in all of this. and we are of course seeing it all play out now with those who claim to be liberals and claim they just can't be racist not being able to handle black people who disagree and don't conform to what they think is proper.
