No it does not.

When I graduated from college in Knoxville the most exclusive country club (Cherokee Hills) was all-white and refused to admit even wealthy successful black people.  And it was the same all over the country.  Just look at when Augusta National admitted their first black member.  These country club members were not rednecks with rebel flags on their pick up trucks.  They were the power brokers who control hiring, firing, promotions, and handing out contracts.


Can you say with a straight face that black people who worked as hard as I did and graduated with me had "equal opportunity" to get a job under those conditions?


This is not from history.  This is from my current generation.  I am only 55.  And the privilege of my generation will be passed on to the next due to intergenerational wealth elasticity.
