[QUOTE=Toyhobo;43580462]No, of course not. But they have made a huge leap of progress in just a matter of years. Your president is even black. and that means he had to study somewhere. And yes I am aware that there are still ghettos with people that aren't living under the greatest of conditions, but as I said I am not going to compare people living in the ghetto with people in the middle class suburbs.[/QUOTE] As I just said. Most of the people who you are talking about aren't anywhere near a middle class suburb. The president was not born in a segregated area surrounded by a whole bunch of racists. The president is also half white and isn't even descended from a slave so he was already pretty far ahead of the game. He also grew up in Hawaii and Hawaii was in a completely different situation. By the time he had arrived in the mainland to go to college for a while, segregation was already over. To top this all off, he spent a sizable chunk of his childhood in the middle of Indonesia far away from a system that was intentionally racist.

You don't seriously think people say "This poor black didn't get into college while this rich white person did, that's racist" do you? If you do, then you're seriously misunderstanding all of this.
I find it interesting how the gap between "blacks view of anti-black bias" and "whites view of anti-black bias" has actually steadily widened since the 1950s.
