A whole lot of posts in this thread would be the first exhibit refuting the notion, when someone says "America isn't a racist country."
It's not like being a racist is even against the law, as long as someone doesn't have power/authority over another and uses their racism/bigotry. And one thing is for sure, the vast majority of power and authority are held by white people in this country, so it's not hard to figure out the rest.
Particularly interesting, is that so many posting were actually alive and recall seeing the separate white/colored signs over restrooms/water fountains/Etc., yet still like to say how much better it was -"in the good old days."
Thank goodness polls show that younger generations are a lot less racist/bigoted/prejudiced than many of those posting here...and the problem will eventually get better.
