White guilt and the desire to show that you're "more enlightened" than other whites does exist, and drives hare-brained schemes like affirmative action. What part do you personally think it plays in Obama's bid for the white house?

More blacks arrested in mob attack on whites
As soon as people get over their 'white guilt,' we can make progress. Neither side of my family made it to the US until 1908. I owe the African-American community no apologies, and I live my life by that belief. Stop feeling guilty for things you have
