I definitely think that some of the stuff is still there, just not as blatant or it has become so systemic that people just don't see it anymore. My wife read a book a while ago call The New Jim Crowe and it covered a lot of the policies and things in the present day that work against minorities while not being overtly against them.

Oh, I am not saying that there isn't further to go with racism. My point is that the way we are going about it means that we will never have "beaten" it enough to move on. There will always be a little more, and the same energy keeping it alive.

Oh, no, I didn't think you were saying we were all set. I know where you are going. Implicit bias is always going to be an issue. It seems on some degree we are just wired to question things that are different.
