I would have to agree.  Yet ironically, since we now have a bi-racial President, who identifies himself as Black, I think there is a distorted impression that this country has "overcome" anti-Black bias; when clearly, this New York Times article indicates something very different. 

Jim Crow is alive and well; plain and simple.

But for whatever the criticisms are that exists, institutionalize racial bias is very difficult to spot, because it's practiced in such a stealthy way.  I point this out to say that often when people think of anti-Black bias, they usually visualize a gun-totin', blue-collar white guy, waving a confederate flag from the front porch of his double-wide trailer.  When in truth, that brand of redneck is not always racist.  And, even when they are, that particular economically-anemic, census of Whites don't really have enough political or fiscal power to cause lasting damage.  The "trailer-trash" brand of racist seems to get all the blame for a problem that ultimately stems from the politically-savvy, bourgeois, white-collar, white-supremacist dining at the country club.

Lets be clear.  Afro-Black oppression has always been, first and foremost, about money.

Too, just as we have a systemic foreign policy that discriminates against Palestinians and other Muslims and Arabs, we also have a systemic domestic policy, which keeps the majority of Blacks mired in poverty; even when they are doing the same job -- maintaining the same credit levels -- as Whites.

These kinds of policies force our people into an Us against Them mentality, making us all more vulnerable, weak and afraid; leading our land to become a less united, Divided States of America.
