Eh, while I can’t judge how much flat out direct racism there still is (though, individual rather than systemic in that case) affirmative action has always seemed like a lazy shortcut to me that’s better than nothing but only works because of the correlation that black people in the US tend to be poor (reason: see OP). A black kid born into a wealthy household still gets an easier life than a white kid born into a trailer park. Doing it properly would mean helping those of lower socioeconomic status (which will also mostly help minorities) rather than going purely off correlating factors.
Getting arrested for being black is still a thing. The world hasn’t finished blending all Nazis in a bloody soup. There are black communities down south where they ended up forming their own armed militia just to keep community members safe from racism.
STOP FUCKING SAYING RACISM IS GONE. This is just the violent shit you directly see. You can’t even prove the little ones, that deny someone a job, or a loan, or healthcare. To say nothing of denying them votes through gerrymandering.
