Do white people believe there is no more racism?

Sen. Barack Obama's speech in response to press about Rev. Jeremiah Wright's sermons has brought talk about race back to our airwaves. On today's Talk of the Nation, a bi-racial caller named Roy remarked that white people want to talk about race intellectually whereas black people are more emotional and passionate when discussing the subject.

How do you talk about race or hear race talked about?

Personally, I relate to the Stuff White People Like blog I wrote about #14: Having Black Friends. In a weird way it's like having proof that one doesn't care about race. Which, of course, doesn't really add up.
