Ben's suggestion is actually the *only* current solution to this 
situation.

If you modify the license to include a "racist" prohibition, you are no 
longer using one of our licenses.   End of story.

It is crucial to this entire project that we don't have "Modified 
Creative Commons" licenses floating around.

You would also be required to take the CC logo of your page if you were 
using your own modified license creation for that page.

Thanks,
