I do not deny that racism exists in America (and EVERYWHERE ELSE for that matter).  There are white racists, and there are also black racists.  There are  White supremacists, and there are also Black supremacists. There are whites AND blacks that make use of their talents and work hard to get ahead.  There are whites AND blacks which are comfortable using the "victim" excuse for their failure to get ahead.

What I deny is that our system, our culture, our laws and judicial systems, and our OPPORTUNITIES are systemically prejudiced.  I firmly believe that anyone with any brains, skills and a willingness to work can, and will succeed in the US.  Sadly, this is not the case in much of the rest of the world, another reason I get incensed when I see left-wingers disparage our wonderful country.
