That hasn't been my experience, but I'm not black, I'm Indian American. And I saw a lot more racism towards my particular ethnic group 30 years ago than I see today. Which makes me both happy and sad. Happy that Indians are more integrated into American society, but sad that blacks are still considered "other".

I have black friends and it hurts to see how subtle racism still comes into play when I'm with them. Not that I don't still encounter it sometimes myself... but it's just a lot less of an issue for me. What do you think will change this for black people? I would like for this country to get to the point where they were not treated differently than anyone else.
