Can we please stop acting surprised that race matters? It’s been a focal point in the media’s recent discussion of the election – mostly that some people consciously or unconsciously will not vote for Obama because of his race. Don’t get me wrong. I agree that race is a relevant construct in our present day. However, the media’s sense of shock that their own pumping of negative stereotypes of Black men in particular, and African Americans in general, just might have an impact on the way some perceive Barack Obama is exasperating.
Not knowing people of other races, people tend to force individuals into stereotypes
