[QUOTE="jrerun21, post: 3610955, member: 570954"] That's impossible. IMHO there's no such thing as race...However, since its advent, there's no way around ignoring it. Sure there are people that cry "racism" all the time... Doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Maybe we should define racism. Racism is prejudice in action. Black people are prejudiced as most people are with limited interaction with others. That's why you get people that think their one Eskimo friend represents all Eskimos. There aren't enough "minorities" in powerful positions to contribute to systematic racism. Yes there are enough to be racist here and there... but they usually get in those positions by straddling the fence of standing up for their community problems and the whole boot-strap pullup theory. Remember, first their was outright slavery, including a bunch of scientists that were adamant about finding reasons for superiority among certain races. (That sh*t has not stopped... i.e. One of the discoverers of the Diribonucleic Acid strand Watson-Cricke pair claiming that blacks are inherently inferior) There are plenty of people in powerful positions that have ingrained ideologies about their groups superiority... and its not just in the science community. Since the majority of these jobs are taken up by people that have succumb to the minstrel show portrayal of blacks and other communities around the world.. they guide their laws, theories and interactions around it. 400 years of ideology cannot be erased by a simple speech and change of a couple laws... It just becomes more covert. If you don't believe me, go watch a youtube video about a black person and wait for the racist comments to start. And politically correct has nothing to do with being correct. It all has to do with appearances. Read about all the disenfranchised blacks in Florida during the 2000 election and you'll see the covert racism still prevalent in our system. (Up to 70,000 questionably disenfranchised people total... of which the majority were black.) You have to look no further than the disproportionate representation of blacks in the penitentiary system to know that something is wrong. Blacks are not criminal by nature. At least they finally tried to equalize pentalty for crack compared to cocaine. That stuff was pushed into our communities. Michael Ruppert is a controversial white ex-police officer that alleges being apart of the CIA constructed program of pushing drugs and guns into the community. My father was around to see the trains dumping guns in the community. People take things for face value not knowing what's going on behind the scenes. [/QUOTE]
