A) You say, "Black Americans are much poorer than White Americans, yet racial discrimination by the state, and by almost all private entities, has been illegal for over 40 years."  If your intended point is that racial equality should bring wealth equality, then it should be pointed out that making something illegal is not the same as making it non-existent.  B) In the phrases "Black Americans" and "White Americans", "black" and "white" should not be capitalized, as they are not proper nouns.  Ditto "Affirmative Action".  Also, "Abortion".--[[User:XavierJ|XavierJ]] 22:12, 20 October 2008 (EDT)

:I seriously doubt that illegal discrimination is keeping Black (or "black") people poor. There would be serious outrage if the government were discriminating, or Black Americans were still excluded from lunch counters or the front of the bus. Don't you agree? If anything, we now live in a world where [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Reverse_racism&oldid=539174 reverse racism] is so common that people are very careful. Just Google "niggardly" if you don't know what I mean. [[User:BHarlan|BHarlan]] 22:24, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
