Attorney General Eric Holder’s recent statement that race plays a part in some Americans’ opposition to President Obama’s policies has stirred strong reaction from both liberals and conservatives, and reaction has highlighted the fact -- no surprise here -- that blacks and whites often look at issues of race differently. We suspect that Kershaw County would mirror the national opinions of a recent Gallup poll in which people were asked whether this country’s criminal justice system is biased against blacks. More than two-thirds of whites said no, while about the same percentage of blacks said yes.
