(19,841 posts)there is still an unfair advantage and an unspoken "otherizing" that goes on. Part of it is that America is so freaking competitive that people will use any advantage they can get away with.
One day this will all be gone--maybe it will not take too many generations. I take hope from the younger ones today.
You might like the work of this artist that I admire very much. She is talking about these labels and stereotypes that remain buried in the fabric of America, re. Black experience (& are similar to Asian stereotypes and images).
So Google Kara Walker if you don't know about her. And thanks for the dialogue. We need to be vocal about these things. In spite of the urge of some to shut this thread down, I appreciate the OP's opening it.
