They all dream of a color blind society.  That's as far as they care to go though.  As soon as colleges start talking about using merit instead of race as the means to admission they all cry foul. 

I would love to see our colleges admit based on merit only.  Tough shit that there is going to be more asians in the classes than any other race.  They've EARNED it.

Come defend that shit DUmmies.

No they don't, they are like Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, the less race matters to the country the more they squeal about it.

I have to chime in about the elevator comment.

There is a fear of the sensor on the door not working and having my fingers crushed.  I use the actual button if I can get to it in time.  It has nothing to do with skin color.  I just want to keep my fingers.

I do have a problem sharing an elevator with stinky people though.

You're a stinkyist? Shame on you.  :-)

My husband's last job that was in El Segundo, everyone (black, brown or white) had to show their ID EVERYTIME they walked in the door.

Same with the defense industry. I don't care if you're a white private or a black 2-star General, and I've seen many of black field grade and general officers check in at the Myer Center at Monmouth. ...as did the white, female, Hispanic, and every other special interest group the DUmpmonkies like to place Americans into. If they lose that one thing, they'll never get elected again.

I could say something, but I won't. PM me if you're wondering, or FB message me. The premise is, you are dead on balls accurate.

During my fed employment P&C awarded a contract to a minority business for window washing.  The "company" arrived for work (late) and we had to supply them with ladders, towels and cleanser.  Our ladders weren't tall enough to reach beyond the second floor so 3 through 6 didn't get done.  This was the typical scenario.

Of that, I have no doubt.

Response to Original message
19. It clearly exists
Consider non-verbal societal clues. Someone who has grown up in white society, knows instinctively how to sit and how to talk to give the message to other white people "I'm a serious and competent person." Someone who goes up in a different society or subculture doesn't necessarily know those signs.
I think white people resist the idea for a number of reasons, but one is that they feel it implies they don't deserve what they have. This was my initial response when first exposed to the idea a while back, I have to admit. They might take it as the sole explanation as opposed to part of the mix. I have my life style because I worked hard, did reasonably well in school, learned my job, caught a few lucky breaks, and because I'm white.
I don't know, past affirmative action programs, how you fix this problem though.

Code language, dog whistles, and now non-verbal societal clues.  I can envision a niche for an enterprising black entrepreneur:  Open up a charm school for blacks.  The Thurston Howell Academy, maybe?
