African-Americans are still economically/financially disadvantaged compared to Whites, who hold a significant advantage in that field.
Success in American is determined by how well the African-American can appease the White man. Just compare Larry Elder and Michael Steele with Barack Obama. Obama may be president, but that's because he ran. He had one hell of a time trying to convince Whites that he wasn't that "Black," all the while trying to convicne Blacks he was "Black" enough. Judging from what I've been reading on ATS, its pretty clear Obama is still held in low regard by most Whites. Charles Barkley was another great example.
Media images and perceptions of African-Americans are largely controlled and created by Whites, and unfortunately adopted by irresponsible Blacks who both know better and don't know any better.
In the presence of institutional and structural racism, the false idea we live in a meritocracy and a colorblind society persists.
Funny what happens when you lose the emotions and the conspiratorial rhetoric - the truth comes out. Whites are as advantaged as they have ever been and their complaints of conspiracy and "reverse discrimination" is resentment and racism on their part.

This isn't a racist thread, this is not just about RACE, it is about the world against the white male, everyone wants what we have, black, hispanic, mexican, women...they all want to be equal to the white male, but in the process they are trying to destroy us, they don't just want what we have, they want us out of the picture, we are a threat to them.
thats what this thread is about
correct me if i am wrong

Listen, in America at least black people finally have their day. We have a true black president. I say it's time we abolish the E.O.A. because we are beyond those times. We need 21st century legislation that prohibits real discrimination against race, sex, and religion.
