What I find disparaging is how the politicians and the media separate everyone based on their race and/or gender. The black vote, the female vote, the Hispanic vote.

Having been born at the tail end of the Civil Rights Movements, I grew up being taught that we are all Americans and should be a color blind society, but politicians who claim to be for that very idea, in tandem with the media, are the ones that separate everyone into groups and keep us from achieving that goal.

The question should be what the government will do for the betterment of America and all of her people, not what will they do for the black community or the Hispanic community or women or the children, etc. Until we reach that point, which I doubt we ever will, these problems will not be solved.
