They absolutely do to an extent. But wow, I guess that rhetorical, edge case, non-sequitor of question has zero histrionics associated with it.

Again, and this point ahs been made to lad before, there will *always* be bias/discrimination/racism inherent *somewhere* and *somehow* --- and the target isnt exclusively one race.

But please feel free to pose that rhetorical question in all its glory.

It wasn't rhetorical at all. He talked about how CK had never had any doors closed to him due to his race and I asked him to clarify that statement.

What doors were closed to him due to his race?

He was offered a college scholarship to Nevada. He played pro football. he made millions.

Has he ever been denied entrance into ...anyplace...due to his race?

I think few if any blacks under 40 have.

So put up or shut up - give me the doors that were closed.

Your faith will not do - I want facts.

I can't give you facts specific to CK as I don't know him.

I'm close to more than one black person under the age of 50 who has dealt with plenty of racism/microaggressions over the years.

Let's talk (again) about the study that looked at hiring people with white-sounding vs. black-sounding names. Do you not think that type of bias will cause some doors to shut? Will that sort of unconscious bias lead to some inequalities in our society?

Microaggression? Are those the ones where somebody looked at him funny? Or at least, he thought they did?

Oooh, such an oppressive country.

Well I clarified, and you changed the age to 50 and changed it to other people.
