>This is not to say that racism doesn't exist in the US, it does. But these days it isn't anywhere nearly as prevalant as it used to be. These days it is usually structural. Blacks, on the average, tend to be poorer and less educated. Those two things weigh more heavily against them than their skin color. If the US were as racist as many Europeans believe, then explain Oprah(please) and all of the black sports stars, entertainers, Colin Powell and other powerful blacks.

Well said.
