Is America Racist?

No, not in the main. Yes, there ARE some “pockets” of racism left in America; but racism is no longer the “law of the land,” as it was in the fifties when they had drinking fountains for blacks, black only restrooms, and did not allow blacks to be served in restrooms, mostly in the South. they also didn't elect blacks to political office. I’m not black, but I am dark complected, and one time the cops were called to keep me out of a restaurant because they THOUGHT I was black, in North Carolina. No longer. Not as a matter of law. And that’s important. There are more black Senators and Representatives than ever before; in addition, more and more black men AND women are being elected to political office than ever before. If that doesn’t show that, contrary to what Obama says, we are no longer systematically racist. To put the lie to that fantasy that we are a racist country, we now have a black (in his mind) president who CHOOSES to be black because it gives him the advantage of being able to slam EVERYBODY who disagrees with him as a racist. Evidence of residual racism is the existence of “black colleges” and other “black only” institutions. A lot of what racism remains in this country is racism against WHITES. (Just common sense)
