There are some views on answers about black/white relations and equality in the U.S. that bother me. I feel that some (not all or even most) blacks have a warped view of what equality truly is. One black asker said in his question, for example, that a white person losing a job to a black person, or a white person losing their slot in university admissions to a less qualified black person was fair and was helping to level the playing field. I thought equality involved taking race out of the equation altogether and thus allowing people to advance in life based on skills, intelligence, etc. I just don't understand why black people, who have the same mental and physical capabilities of any other ethnicity, should receive priveleges based solely on skincolor. No race should. I know that there is still racism toward blacks today, but I do feel that there are things white AND black people need to do to make the U.S. truly equal though. Could someone enlighten me if I'm wrong?
