There isn't any governmental oppression, but racist whites are notorious for joining institutions like the police force and department of justice in order exercise their racism against blacks. I'm entirely against living in the past, but we still have issues, and I refuse hold all whites accountable, but not everything has dissipated.
I can live with people continuing to be racist, but I'm sick and tired of people trying to join institution's in order to exercise their racism regardless of their background.
The past cannot be changed, but the future can which is what I can agree with you on, pepe person.
How does that solve anything if you just say "there's racism out there"? Well yeah everyone knows that there is. We can't control the minds of people. Only thing we can control are laws that people are supposed to abide to. So I say again: either show me a law or an institution which is racist and/or oppressive by intent and then we can agree. Otherwise I see no point in saying there is racism out there. There is also a lot of jew hate out there also. What I don't see is jews using that as a reason for the problems in their life. Maybe the reason is jews don't have a lot of problems even though they have been persecuted for two millenniums. So think about that for a while. By your and Multiply's logic jews should be doing pretty badly right?
And how about women. Women have been oppressed since the dawn of time. Even the white ones. That's half of the population right there. And what we see now is that women have better grades than men in junior high and in high school and on top of that most of university graduates are women. So clearly this theory about a persons group, clan, race, tribe or subgroup with a history of oppression having a direct negative impact on the life of said group in present time with no actual experience of oppression is on very thin ice. It's basically just your gut feeling.
My guess is that you guys see inequality therefore alarm bells start ringing in your head. Why? Because we people like things simple. It's easier to say well that's a inequity problem which needs to be fixed. What if it's not you that can fix it? What if the problem is related to more natural causes derived from biology? It's a noble thought and idea that we're essentially all the same and can all function the same way in a multiethnic society, but we're not all the same. You people deeply crave for the equality of outcome, but it's never going to happen. We have a natural tendency to move forward in life, to progress and to gain more for ourselves etc. All that is inequality by definition. You struggling forward in life is basically in itself something that's discriminating other people. When you get to a university you have taken that place from someone who was also applying there. Did you oppress him? No, but that's capitalism for you right there. It's not perfect, and neither are we as a people, but it's the best system we have.
