to answer your summations and your comments:
1. yes. people are just as racist. not everyone. but many people are racist and are fooling themselves - hence, the "but, i have a black friend" defense. just cuz people aren't being lynched as much as they were doesn't mean we've reached nirvana. if you believe that young black children don't have a concept of racial inferiority, take a look at the doll study completed in new york: http://www.uthtv.com/umedia/show/2052/... )
