^^So much for MLK's dream of living in a color blind society.

Do you guys immediately count the number of minorities upon entering a room or do you wait until you're bored?

His is a dream that hasn't come true yet. And taking note of the audience members during the speeches at the RNC makes that abundantly clear.

Can someone explain to me why there weren't more people of color in that auditorium? I think someone who doesn't notice that or think about it is truly blind.

Usually, one doesn't have to. Every place other than the RNC seems to have a pretty diverse mix of people. That's why it stands out like a sore thumb when you see the opposite.
