[QUOTE="Aldebaran, post: 71930723, member: 251418"] If it's so extraordinarily difficult to prove, then it must not be all that egregious. Yet you're about to tell me that we're not really talking about the past, as you make your next statement..... But the only discrimination that happens now pales in comparison to the past. In the past, black people (at least some of them, not all), were slaves, couldn't get jobs, couldn't live in certain areas. Now, they have jobs that go all the way to the most powerful office in the country (the presidency itself--twice). They are not slaves, but often make money that ranges into the top 1% everyone apparently thinks is so terrible. Yet the cries of "discrimination" are louder today than ever! So we are in fact talking about 150 years in the past. Yet so many black people have reached levels of success and income and fame that their ancestors could have only dreamed about, and almost always without affirmative action. Try explaining that. Either that, or try to tell me how it's not condescending to tell black people today that they need extra help from white people to move them ahead of the line in order to succeed because we believe we can't ask as much from them as we ask of anyone else.
