You say, "And things are getting better"! Do you mean since segregation ended?
40 years ago at the hospital where my first son was born, the head obstetrician was black and so was the surgeon who preformed my emergency C Section.
Black folk were running many thing back then and still are.
If there is 'institutional racism' black folk have everything it takes to sort it out themselves. They are the majority of the population in some major US cities and are in control of many of those cities.
I see what you're doing when you say, "Right wing talkers have pointed at Obama ever since 2008 as "proof" that racism doesn't exist anymore..." and throwing the word 'bigot' around. Some are too quick to accuse good people of being racist and it stops meaningful conversations about race from ever getting started.
Rubbish about Obama being the most obstructed and disrespected president in the nations history! Clinton was stopped from going after Bin Laden by being accused of 'Wag the Dog'. They tried to impeach him over a private affair. Gore won the presidency and he was stopped from being president. Bush Jr was hated on a global scale though.
I don't need your 'scientific studies'. I raised two sons in America, both to successful adulthood. One black and one white and both were treated the same by society.....well actually I think the black was treated better if anything.
