Ok Dean I have re-read your posts and understand where you are coming from, where I disagree in your line of thought is that the system keeps minorities down. If you accept a cynical point of view of people I can see where your points come from, but the North won the war! There are more people as evidenced by Obama's election that dont care about the color of your skin and dont keep people down based on color. When hiring choice are made it is by merit. Now having said that, there will always be cases to the contrary, thats just people and nothing you can do about that. But as an entrenched system , no it doesn't exist.
By the way, love the stolen car thread, very entertaining.
