You do realize that the faux black peeps here are most likely white liberal college student posers right?Prove it's "institutionalized," asshole.This is an attempt to dismiss USA's institutional racism by claiming that oh it's normal, it's everywhere, nothing to see here, just move along...Racism is much much older than American history and has many forms other than simply skin color prejudices. The HUTU and TUTSI war in Rawanda demonstrated that more significantly than the entire 200 year history of Slavery ( not confined to black slaves btw) in North America did. Another very good example of vile racism is the way 90 percent of black people feel about Jews and now they have added Asians. Feel Free to comment on any of these subjects.Have you read enough to know why racism exists and where it came from?Everyone should want to learn about racism because it is American history.
And if you don't read about it, you won't understand why racism exists, where it came from, how it allowed employers to pay less, etc.

But, in the USA it is institutionalized, long-running, and targeted against specific groups in specific ways. I could write volumes about the white racism institutionalized in the school systems.
Why was I told by an inner-city black student, "You're not racist like the other white teachers. They talk to us like we're dirt. You talk to us like we're human." A teacher will have far more problems with the Administration if trying to combat the ambient racism than if practicing it.
USA = racist country. Not the only one. But a racist country.
I don't need to prove wrong what has never been demonstrated. That argument is the tactic of a demagogue.
