The thing that really bothers me about "racism" is how the gov. distributes financial aid. Yea we discriminated against there ancestors by not letting into schools and colleges. But we have done plenty of things to make up for that, for the last several decades if your African American ( or any other minority) you get a lot more financial aid from the gov. for school then white kids do.
Its almost reverse discrimination now, it you have a AA kid and a white kid with the same grades and parents make about equal income the AA kid is going to get a lot more financail aid then the white kid.
I personally think that the financial aid forms should not ask for race. they should base in on your grades and your family income. But this is just my 2cents
