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....

No, you don't understand my point at all. I understand there are situations that there is no option. But that is not
so much the case anymore (I did not say NOT EVER - because I'm not stupid enough to think there aren't things that still happen). There is oppertunity for everyone now if they want to find it.
