[QUOTE="HeffersonDavidos, post: 74316354, member: 422592"] You and Zephcom can probably split the difference based on the situation. If as you say, the institution has clear policies against racism but individuals violate them, then it could be said at some level that it is the people at fault and not the institution. Thus at various times, various individuals have been fired for violating their company equal opportunity policies, like the "helpful" personnel manager that makes sure black resumes "disappear." But then there is the flip side. People in an institution can use racist practices to a vast extent, over a period of time, effectively making the institution a racist one, since ultimately it is people who run institutions. Thus the mission statements of many southern courts said wonderful things about "justice," but few black people would get justice when they showed up. The racism of the controllers was so identified with the institution, that effectively, there is little difference. It was not a case of a few bad apples, but a systematic way of operating for decades. [/QUOTE]
