“2. Having worked in both corporate America and the government I can tell you that if your halfway competent and black doors will open for you and never are open for anyone else, so to say that there is prevalent racism out there is bogus.”
Exactly right, CS.

The reality in America for the last half century is that the most prevalent racism, by far, is reverse racism against whites.
