COLUMN: Census only widens country's racial divide

Guest columnist Joan Burke opined several weeks ago that the growing opposition to Barack Obama is based primarily on racism.

Instead of casting racial slurs against those whose dissention is based in philosophical and constitutional belief, I propose we instead examine a topic that is essentially racist to its core: the ongoing census.

Outrageous, you say? Not at all, particularly when one looks beyond the notion that the census is a benevolent attempt to simply count noses.
