Mere Shadow of what they were? Please, if you honestly think racism isn't a big issue, you should look around you. I mean, there was a Super Bowl commercial with a Hijabi Muslimah in it, and suddenly we've got tons of terrorist comments being fired. Or the other two examples I said in a previous post aboveStop talking about it, you bring it up all the dang time and use it as an excuse. Grow up and prove those people wrong by being successful individual and showing them that their past oppressions are but a mere shadow of what they once were. You have an opportunity do something good of yourself but you deal too much in the past.
