Today Americans know that racism is no longer the greatest barrier to black and minority advancement.

Since the 1960's other pathologies , even if originally generated by racism have supplanted it. White racism did not shoot 4000 people last year in Chicago. To the contrary, America for decades now ,with much, remorse, has been recoiling from the practice of racism and has gained a firm intolerance for what it once indulged"
