There still is some de facto discrimination, but in my experience that's been diminishing with each generation. I have minority colleagues and clients who are very successful. The NFL players making this protest are very successful. We just had a black president for 8 years for crying out loud. So, no, I don't see oppression.
One black president doesn't constitute the entire race of black people. It constitutes ONE black person.
The NFL doesn't exclusively consist of black professionals. There are other races as well.
The "minority" colleagues and clients that you have who are successful don't make up the entire race of black people.
There is oppression happening to this very day among black people. You just refuse to take your rose-colored glasses off long enough to acknowledge that fact.
Careful boy. Your white privilege is showing.
