Completely disagree. It is, as of today, totally equal in terms of social standards. In individual cases where it is not, the sins of the father are inherited by the son. This is the natural way of things and to try to change it is dangerous.Whats dangerous is to think there's a "natural ways of things".
Man-made forces are at work that make things the way they are; creating the inequality in the first place and hoarding wealth.
There's nothing natural about it. We are not animals in the wild. Talk to me about nature when we're talking about lions and wolves.
The truth of the matter is that there's still inequality left and right and all over the place. If you don't see it its because you CHOOSE not to. "As of today" its totally still here, and its because people like you say it isn't there that it still IS there. We cant work on a problem if you don't even acknowledge it. Is it that you think we're all crazy and are just making stuff up and crying inequality when there is none?
All I can do is tell you the truth of my experiences growing up. I'm 40. Did I deal with mild racism on the home-front. You bet I did. But I (as well as the rest of my friends) argued with my (our) parents. We tried (and succeeded some) in persuading them to an opposite mindset. I never once experienced anyone mistreated due to racism in my entire scholastic career. I went to dominantly white schools and the minority kids were welcomed into the same circles of friendship as every other white kid. Same in college. The only time I've experienced someone being mistreated based on race is when I was mistreated for being white, but that was an isolated incident and I don't consider it the norm. Maybe you had different life experiences than I've had.
And I keep hearing about a current institutional racism, but I've yet to see any real proof of it. I've seen gobs of proof that there was institutional racism here until about the 70s, but nothing current.
