Racism is ONE of the elements in it...
I think his point was that it was not the ONLY one...but he needs to answer that one himself...as far as racism or to be more specific Anti-immigration/xenophobia(?) I see that as a much more continuing problem in the US today than white versus black racism......if any of the myriad letters to the editor I see in my local paper are to be believed.....it seems that one thing that unites white and black around here is a jealousy regarding Hispanics and Asian immigrants (especially "illegal" ones)....as one who thinks our immigration laws have been too stringent for a long time...this is especially troubling.....
