[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 275211, member: 1912"] Well, lets hope black people enjoy being "victims" because it looks like they will be subjected to unfair hiring and promotion practices for a while longer. Not to mention the unfair treatment received outside of hiring/promotion practices and even mistreatment outside the work environment. There is no need to be nostagic for the '60s or to invent racism. You do understand what racism is, right? If you honestly think there is no more racism, I think you either a) live a very sheltered life or b) don't really know what you are talking about. [COLOR=blue]Racism certainly exists. Over sensitive racism also exists. The best thing that can happen to quell racism is a complete melting of different backgrounds and ethnicities. The diverse society. The problem though when you bring a white person and a black person together in any type of business or social setting is there is a tension there with the white who is not guilty of any biases. You now have to be on pins and needles afraid you might say the wrong word or make a joke considered inappropriate and thus be accused of racist behavior. It strains normal interaction between the races and it is the other side of the racist behavior you speak of here.
