    If you don't understand the video, you never will understand structural discrimination. A clearer picture cannot be painted.

    Yes, indeed. Affirmative Action is very real structural discrimination. Latter-day Jim Crow.

    One would think with 150 years passing since slavery was abolished, that the runner would have switched lanes at some point.

    What does 1608 have to do with today? Does the video producer have a problem with unionized public schools?

    Somehow, I think Appomattox trumps Dred Scott.

    Loller, that has got to be the single dumbest, most biased, illogical, unsupportable, retarded video I've ever watched.

    Someone please give me my 4minutes and 4 seconds back.

    The video uses a series of metaphors that are beyond your understanding because you don't know anything about American history.

    That video does a good job at showing how a certain group can fall keep it's economic, social and political power for centuries. I'm starting to think that black people will never have a fighting chance -- especially with the growing racism since Obama was elected.

    Get Kenyans to run for you next time.

    The correlative affirmative action video would have a white guy on the basketball court getting dunked over.

    Was I the only one wondering why a racer who had the most time to sit and save energy was the first one to the 'rest' area? It should be no surprise some people are behind if that's the work ethic they show...

    Obama has nothing to do with this video.. but I'm surprised it took 15 posts for his name to show up.

    Oh great.

    I was wondering when I was going to see another one of these, 'White Privilege' threads again.

    You deny it exists?

    Please explain your case.

    Dunno what that is...

    But considering we have a black president now, how is that video even REMOTELY accurate?

    I doubt if you voted for him and only a fool would think black folks would be foolish enough to think because there is a black president that racism and discrimination are no more.

    Name ONE example of institutional racism against blacks. I can name multiple examples of institutional racism towards white males.

    ETA: I wouldn't have voted for Obama if you put a gun against my head and the head of my children.

    I'm not that stupid.

    Prove that it does exist, particularly post-1964. European-Americans are currently subject to a "Justice Department" that openly defies the law, arms criminals and would NEVER prosecute a hate crime against European-Americans.

    The US Justice System.

    Now you name 5 examples of institutional racism towards white males.

    I know you wouldn't or any other black man.
