Yeah, I wouldn't blame it on current overt racism so much as past racism and current structual problems due to racism.

i have to agree with that to. lets face it. the racsim faced today an't got noth'n on the early 1900's.


Yeah, it's kinda like if your running a race, and one guy is forced to stop for 10 minutes in the race.

Even if you've got equality from then on, the other guy is always going to be behind.

Which becomes an ethical quagmire in a larger economic framework, since you've got one group disadvantaged by past deeds, however by directly helping them you are hurting other unrelated groups. 

Afterall your typical billionaire doesn't care about a poor white guy anymore then he does a poor black guy, whehter that poor white guy was around during the worse eras or whether his faimily just imigrated here from romania.
