So what about blacks not being able to vote until my lifetime? What about blacks being thrown out of restaurants and not being allowed to use public restrooms or water fountains, in your lifetime? Are you tired of that one? What about the fact that still to this day whites have a significantly greater likelihood of being hired than a black person. Tired of that one?

What is your advice, exactly, to a black person that has been rejected from employment because of the color of their skin...or do you not think that happens anymore?

These issues of discrimination have nothing to do with slavery!! I am totally against discrimination the BEST applicant should ALWAYS get the job! Here at Allstate we dont know skin color until the interview! ANd the most qualified ALWAYS wins!!! One last point none of the blacks I have hired have ever been slaves and less than 35% of blacks have ancestors that were slaves! So do you think they all should get some special consideration since a few can trace their geneology to a slave??
