I'm talking about it in regards to reverse discrimination, so I think it's perfectly relevant to word it like that.

Do you think the fact that black males commit a disproportionate % of violent crime (and crime in general) has anything to do w/how they're viewed and why they're locked up at a disproportionate rate?
Where are these black people w/o criminal records (and who are qualified) who can't get jobs?
Whites are still the majority in America, so is it really a surprise most politicians are white? Seriously, where are the laws which bar black people from running for office? Why are black-run/black-majority cities often such awful places?
Are you blogging in order to arrive at the truth, or in order to push propaganda and a bad ideology?
vera, where is this "every day" racism you refer to? Yes, you can find racism in history, but EVERY race/culture had/has feelings that they are superior to others (some just had more success at enforcing these claims of superiority). If America is SO racist against blacks, surely you can point to some major things, discriminatory laws, widespread violence against blacks, blacks unable to get elected to office, be hired, get into college, etc? Seems to me like people generally bend over backwards (to a fault IMO) to NOT insult blacks--but THEY can say racist shit, even throw around the word "nigger", all they want and no one says "boo" about it.
From my perspective as a mixed-race person (white-latino) in my early 40's who has had racial insults hurled at me from BOTH sides (but more from other latino's) and have lived in SoCal as well as the South, I have a little experience in this matter.
To hear some people like you talk, you'd think Jim Crow if not outright slavery and lynching still existed...

There IS widespread violence against blacks.
Police in the U.S. are incredibly bias towards black people. In fact most people in prison are black when white people get away with the same offenses.
Even black people with ZERO criminal record have issues getting jobs.
And, yes, a majority of people in office are white.
