[QUOTE="RDKirk, post: 77599190, member: 326155"] There's no race-based slavery in the US. There is no known structural racism. Certainly there is racism in the overall American system because there are human beings in the overall system. But where there is racial impact, that is a matter of dominant demographics, such as Hispanic systemic racism in Texas and Asian systemic racism in Hawaii, both of which I've observed at the working-class level. Beyond the effect of dominant demographics, racism in the US is a combination of the "classical" racism of the Jim Crow era that is dwindling with Boomers (the last generation inculcated as children with that kind of racism) and "reactionary" racism in younger generations spurred by images and experiences with what we call "rachet" (wretched) urban behavior. If we American descendants of slavery were and could be seen as the kind of community displayed by the movie "Hidden Figures" (which is how I was raised), there would be little reactionary racism, and we could almost mark "the end of racism" by the epoch of the demise of the Boomer Generation.
