A friend of mine lives on the south side of Chicago. That place tells the whole story -- the whole story. Fundamental racism is the elephant of elephants in the American living room.
I used to teach college art and design, about 10 years ago. One class, we had about 4 blacks students, out of a class of 25 or so. Somehow the topic came up one day, so I asked if any of them had actually been pulled over for DWB.

That would be Driving While Black... you know, variations of being pulled over by police, only to be asked, "whatchu doin' in this neighborhood" or "This is a pretty nice car... is it yours?"

Not only had all four experienced it, but more than once, and were more than willing to describe each incident in detail, since, of course, there is no racism in America.
