Just because there are cancer survivors doesn't mean that cancer doesn't exist. By following the same logic you'll see that individual successes do show that racism does not exist. What it does shows is that formal institutionalized discrimination may not be as prevalent as it once was. However, just to honor my conservative standing, I think that racism is now perpetuated as much by Blacks as it is by Whites. Michael Atherton Prospect Park REMINDERS: 1.
