Racism is NOT the only offense. Why does a man who beats his wife continue to beat his wife?? Because she LETS it happen.

Please flame me and prove me right.
Let me make sure I understand your point here....

Are you saying that racism exists becasue people allow it to happen as in:
*Africans were captured and sold into slavery because they allowed it to happen
*Slaves remained slaves because they allowed it to happen
*Jim Crow laws existed such as literacy rules to vote happened because the people who could not vote because they could not pass the literacy tests that only they (read Black people) were required to take
*Black people went to substandard schools because they allowed it to happen

and on and on....
