Simon: Sure there's going to be a black president and yes there's black lawyers and judges and legislators, but there are still black (and hispanic) ghettos.
Yes and there are also white ghettos (Appalachia, trailer parks, etc.) and Asian ghettos (look behind the facade of NYC's Chinatown or the one in Queens) and for all I know, a Tralfamadorian ghetto in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood.
Seem to recall the percentage of blacks relative to the US population who have achieved middle class status is roughly the same as that of whites.
What you're really talking about is the underclass. Your issues relate to the poor, where numbers are skewed if you play the race game. So what you talk about when you talk about racism may really be poverty.
