Reply #7: Racism is alive and well [View All]

[AngryAmish]

First of all I'm a white guy and I know my experience is nothing like what racism is.

That said, I have to dress in suits for work and dress like a bum much of the rest of the time. People treat me so much better and much more respectfully when I dress in a suit.

Now compare my trivial example to the endemic racism in our society. Black folks (or any other disfavored minority) could put on the nicest suit possible and a substantial portion of the population would only see the color of their skin.

BTW, I do not think I am any sort of a victim in this deal.
