We live in the 21st century. No slavery, very little direct racism, and it seems like African-Americans tend to pull out the racism card when they don't get what they want. An black loses out on a job opportunity to a white person? Automatically, they assume that the company discriminates against "people of color". But who are they kidding? African-Americans have PROVEN to be just as intelligent and hardworking as any other ethnicity, and everybody knows that. Few people will actually discriminate against them anymore. Can't they realize that sometimes they don't win due to bad luck, a lack of legitimate qualifications, and other non-discriminating factors before they scream racism? Now, I know most African Americans aren't like this, but the uneducated, unmotivated ones often are. You could say the same goes for white people, but they can't exactly scream "racism!" When will everyone realize that slavery is long gone? No one's picking cotton anymore. Get over it, shall we?
