These are EXACT words from my post you replied to:
"True, discrimination based on race, religion or national origin still exists in our America."
But in my opinion, UNIVERSAL hate does not exist in USA. If there was UNIVERSAL hate against Africa-Americans, none of them should be able to buy expensive homes, expensive cars, hold very good jobs, and even manage to get elected president. The facts speak for themselves.
Millions of African Americans have worked hard and become prosperous, doing well, getting good education in prestigious universities.. Try the same approach. You might even succeed.
