    You hit the nail on the head here, this type of person makes   
    incorrect assumptions contantly. However you explained it better   
    than I.   
      
    RL> Normal people put people in categories based on their words and   
    RL> actions because through those words and actions, people have put   
    RL> themselves into those categories.   
      
    RL> Martin Luther King expressed his vision for a future where individuals   
    RL> individuals are judged "by the content of their character" rather than   
    RL> "the color of their skin".   
      
    RL> People like Brent can't see that vision.  But, then, people like   
    RL> Brent, through their words and actions, have demonstrated that they   
    RL> are the racists of today.   
      
    At the risk of feeding him - His comment about 'darkies' makes   
    that clear. The more people like him open their mouth, the more   
    they put their foot in it.   
      
    Have a wonderful day!
