[QUOTE="KemiP, post: 1619810, member: 627998"] Racism is still quite alive. However, successful blacks aren't busy complaining about it because they don't deal with it or maybe other people just don't hear them talking about it. I don't know if Clarence Thomas is a good example of a successful "Black" person. I believe he is a man who hates being black. Others like President Obama and myself don't complain, we make things happen and when we do encounter it we deal with it head on. Like 2 weeks ago in my public speaking class, my instructor wanted to drop me from his class after I missed one day. I missed that day because I was working with my national guard unit. The syllabus says you are dropped if you miss 5 days. I am the student who brings notes and facts to class and corrects him if he makes an irrational or non factual comment. The dean who is white sat with us and stated he believe I was being dropped because I am black and that is what all the evidence pointed to. You tell me is racism extinct? All black people do not play the race card, times are changing. Our ancestors fought and bled so we would not have to. Racism is still at large, but I don't walk around all day hearing all black people successful or not playing the race card! [/QUOTE]
