Reply #127: Sorry, but racism does exist, even in many of the history books

[ultraist]

Ummm...no, your statement here is incorrect: Just by numbers, I would say that there are much fewer black people in history recognized for accomplishments because there were much fewer black people.

Blacks were and ARE written out of many history books. Many history books ARE written from a white male eurocentric perspective.

There IS a disportionate focus on white male achievements in our society. There ARE discrepancies created by racism.

Are you saying racism doesn't exist and permeate our instititions? Even Senator Reid, one of the more conservative white Democrats, talked about insideous racism and how it is a major social ill we need to discuss and address.

Please explain WHY 14% of whites earn over 100k while only 5% of Blacks do.
