I think in a lot of facets of society colored people have it easier. With the obvious example being affirmative action. You may get a job, admission to a university, etc. you didn't truly qualify for just because a place needs to fill quotas for race. (which I think is racism)
For an experiment, ask somebody (that will be honest with you) in upper management this question. "Is it easier to fire a black guy or a white guy?" They will tell you that even in states where a company doesn't need a reason to fire somebody, they have to have ALL their ducks in a row to fire a black guy. A white guy, they don't blink twice.
Think of open and accepted racism. Is it more socially accepted to hate on the "cracker" or the "nigger"? I'm sure me typing that word alone will ruffle some feathers, but we can have government officials (LA) go on national TV and make a statement that he will rebuild a city "chocolate". What if it was the other way around? What if a mayor said he wants to rebuild the city "vanilla"?
Racism is a scapegoat many people (blacks especially) use to blame their own failures on. Not in all cases, but in my opinion most of the time.
And don't get me started on the recent attempts to get reparations for slavery. It is laughable that a generation that never saw slavery is trying to get paid for it. I think the Chappelle show did a bit on this one. Jews don't get reparations, why the hell should you?

colored people, LMAO.
i couldn't even get past that part, but i digress while i read your archaic antiquated, and ignorant views on race.
you obviously benefit from white priviledge, thus aren't privy to what people of color go through in america on a daily basis.
you think 40 years after the civil rights movement will even come close to erasing the centuries of oppression that white people have oppressed on people of color? are you so ridiculously stupid that you have don't think that the effects aren't still being felt today?
a white person in america can go their entire life without ever knowing or having to deal with a person of color.
you're taking minute examples and it's laughable that your mental inadequacies would ever lead you to believe that anything done today comes even close to what was done and what we're feeling today.
people of color have to deal with white people such as yourself who are chock full of foolish and ignorant view points on a daily basis, while you in all of your sheltered existence can go on living thinking that racism is just a figment of those "silly colored people's" minds.
