    Equal treatment under the law, equality in housing and employment opportunities just for starters.

    *sigh*

    CNN of course is very biased in the way they word things. I would say you are victim of click bait but you probably know that about yourself and probably justified in your head why its alright. Regardless, reread the article in full. More reports of hate crimes are not stated that there has been more hate crimes, just that there are more being reported. Just because Trump doesn't put it as much of a top contender as a threat as other groups does not mean he is one of them. Doesn't matter anyway, it is not the president running from door to door arresting people, the FBI and local law enforcement are capable of doing that, if they won't do the arrests then perhaps there are more than just Trump involved in this equation.

    Regardless, there is a problem with a America divided into different and opposing sides that the Trump Supporters and Trump haters are being very helpful in creating and expanding upon. Who needs a unified powerhouse when you help it crumble.

    The Director talked both sides out of his ass. Showing what I think about "law enforcement" these days. On one hand, he laughably calls it a "significant, pervasive threat" then on the other, he repeats the fact that: "but that this doesn't automatically mean more hate crimes were happening. FBI efforts to encourage the public to report hate crimes could be yielding benefits, he said."

    And it's not so much of a contradiction of the President, as it is a political statement for House Democratic purposes. So the next time Comey tries to brag that this corrupt institution is non-political, he can save it.

    I guess when someone lived under institutional racism, of the worst sort, as trump must have, given his age, and as I did, given my age and having grown up in a South that was as racist as one can get, where everyone seemed to be a white supremeist, to look at the US today, and remembering what the problem looked like in the 50s and 60s, it is easy to understand why anyone would say it isn't a problem today. And compared to our past, all over this nation, the racism and white supremacy of today seems so tiny, so insignificant when compared to what some of us lived in and experienced daily.

    And compared to my early life, racism and such today seems practically nonexistent. Too bad you don't have real life context to temper and place into context your beliefs and opinion.

    I applaud white americans who saw the stupidity and hate involved in racism, and I am glad those other generations of americans who were conditioned to be racists have all died out, 99 percent of them.

    There is no comparison of today to the past, 50 years ago when it comes to this subject. And yet some of us want to act as if it was 1950 again. And that is just stupid and ignorant.

    We should be celebrating how so little racism and white supremacy there is today instead of dwelling on it, and trying to make it into a much larger problem than it actually is. Jimbo.

    What happened? Are Democrats bombing black churches and burning crosses again?

    Thanks for taking on the challenge. You are the only one even trying. Unfortunately, the opinion piece from the Washington post and the link to EEOC still leaves the question unanswered. What can a person of color not accomplish today, due to racism?

    How do you propose to solve that?
    Send all judges and prosecutors to mandatory diversity training workshops?

    Use Black law enforcement officers to deal with Black people wherever possible?

    So-called minorities have more opportunities in the job market right now than white males if they have useful college degrees. They may not be being hired for certain types of jobs but that is because they are not qualified for them, not because of racism. Money is NOT racist, so if an employer doesn't hire someone its because he can make more money off someone else who is qualified. Once again this isn't racism. Its the way the world works. As for housing: blacks and latinos had the highest percentage of foreclosed home during the last housing crisis--almost twice that of Asians and whites. The banks were forced to give loans to people of color even though they were credit risks, and look what happened.

    An uptick in sexual offences by Democrats in Hollywood...Biden, or the uptick in reports, now which percentage means anything these days?

    If they encouraged people to report scam calls, I would be calling the every single day, probably three or more times a day; skyrocketing uptick in scams under Trump administration, news at 11.

    PS. Their retarded webpage at the place you would report scam calls, does not allow for reporting multiple per day, I would have to do each separately.

    There is de facto and de jure racism. De jure racism ended awhile back. De facto racism is still going strong.

    No one is arguing that racism doesn't exist. I will challenge the claim that it is "going strong". Racism is on the decline and is not a factor in ones ability to succeed.
