I went to a school that was almost entirely black when I was a kid, but I was smrt enough to qualify for MG, or Mentally Gifted, class. They had to test your IQ and shit to get you in. I just remember it being really racist because it was the only majority white classroom in school.

I was in those sort of programs growing up, too - except for it was in white schools. Parents are super boomers, but I will always thank them for seeking out school districts that had their shit together (white majority). There was 1 nigger and 1 asian in high school.

I think the text book definition of institutional racism would be affirmative action and SAT rescoring and diversity quotas.

Failing to want to do something, I can't criticized as much. For example, I want to get rid of welfare for many reasons, but one of them is that it breeds (literally) a dependent black population. Does that make me racist? To not want to give something away for free that was never someone's right in the first place?
