"Also, it has NOT been proven that African Americans ARE discriminated against, only that they HAVE BEEN"
Wow. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you really need an education that bad, let me know, I'll send you some research. In the interim, check out the latest reports from the Southern Poverty Law Center http://www.splcenter.org/ and see how much discrimination doesn't exist. And let's remember that most of those hate groups that SPLC tracks are made up of individuals who identify themselves as white christians.
OK. maybe using hate groups isn't fair. How about some other information. How about the "egregious cases" from US Dept. of Labor's OFCCP - detailing some of the more heinous examples of systematic discrimination that have been documented in the last two years (if that's that current enough for you). See http://www.dol.gov/dol/esa/public/media/reports/of ccp/egregis.htm
There has also been recent work done in the states of Washington and Georgia documenting ONGOING discrimination based on race and gender. I can't find a copy of the reports right now, but since I've met the guy doing them, I do know they exist.
But this does show your true intentions. You want to ignore the fac that racism against people of color exists, but you want to invent systemic racism against white males. A prefered of spin doctors - refuse to accept what reality is, and invent your own.
So, here it is, according to Kintanon: current discrimination against African Americans doesn't exist, but look out for discrimination against white males - it's on the rise!
