If you skip over the qualified for the less qualified it is unfair to all of us as a society.  How is it treating people equally when you don't reat them equally????  You look at the sex, nationality origin, physical characteristics or skin color and say... YES I PICK YOU because you're white, a woman and have a limp...\n\nNO way in any stretch of the imagination are you then treating people EQUALLY!

Actually there are not many. Most Blacks are just plain ol' Americans now like, most other people who came from other Countries. I do have Friends from Chad and Zimbabwe who hold Duel Citizenship and live here in America. Not really sure how you could research this, but, they are actual African Americans I would Assume. IF, you could find a Statistic on these people you could get a relative number. Also, if, your specific there are White African Americans most came from South Africa.\nIF, you looking for a Census of Black Americans only try here; http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/race/black.html\nThis up to 2004, best I could find.

Well ya know all I gotta say is that it seems the Equality we dreamed of has not become reality because people like Jesse Jackson are still whinning about how the Whites need to give the Blacks everything.\n\nBlacks do have more opportunities than they use to.\n\nA Black Teacher I use to have actually had an impact on my opposition to Affirmative Action.\n\nHe commented that he felt that if a White person and Black person applies for a job it is wrong to hire the Black person for being Black (especially if the White person is more qualified).\n\nIt's kinda like if White person and Black person applied for a job it would be wrong to hire the White person for being White (especially if the Black person was more qualified).\n\nIt's kinda like when it comes to Elections I look at abilities of a person over top of race.\n\nFor instance a Black man who is running for Senate in my State has my support but in 2002 I voted for the White person who ran for Attorney General instead of his opponent who was Black.\n\nBut seriously we do need to start thinking of persons as individuals rather than having things based on Race.

Racial discrimination exists and both socially and at workplace... \nThe following  is an episode featured on oprah's show that i myself had watched..\nDaniel, a barber from London, is one of few black men who actually knows what it's like to be white. Daniel conducted a radical race experiment. Through prostetics and makeup, he posed as a white man for three months.\n\n"I was invisible all of a sudden," Daniel says. "I walked down the streets of London, and people didn't watch what I was doing, where I was in location to them, where I was in location to their pocketbook or their car. The other difference I found is when I go to shops, that's when they did look at you. They put the change in your hand rather than slam it on the counter and look to the next person. There's a difference in interaction."\n\nAnother lesson Daniel learned was not to completely hold stock in his prejudices. In disguise as a white man, Daniel went to the dog races and chatted with a kind spectator. The man was someone whom normally Daniel would have judged to be a threat for a black man. When Daniel returned later as himself, the man treated him equally as kind.\n\n"It made me question myself," Daniel says. "I have to look about how I look at other people and how I judge a whole race or a whole group of people, and if I don't want them to do that to me, then I can't do that to them. It made me look the other way."

Yes they do. That was the whole point of the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education. The basic idea is that separate but equal is inherently unequal. This is true even in prisons, as California was recently ordered to end racial segregation in prison populations, even though they have a reasonably plausible reason to do so, to curb racial violence.

in the past white people have had the edge regardless of their qualifications.  now, however, white people who may be more qualified than their minority competition may be losing out.  it happens and anyone who says it doesnt is wrong.  things should be equal and the government should stop overcompensating for the past.

Still waiting,  It's very hidden now but continues.  It probably will continue until we are all the same color, or there are truly no more people who prejudge others.\n\nSorry, but oppress on does exist in a very real way.  It's one of those things you don't always see when you are the majority.  Some Africans were sold by other Africans, but many were also stolen.  During the time of slavery we were then strategically mentally, educationally, and spiritually oppressed.  Meanwhile we also built the US through word, invention, and literally through labor. There are few who could survive such a thing, and the fact that we have is a testament to our strength.  \n\nStill today through covert ways Black Americans have oppressive experiences.  I was taught that I would have to be 2X as intelligent, 2X as fast, work 2X as hard, and be 2X as officiant as the next white man next to me to be noticed.  Often in my lifetime (I'm 25) this has held true.

blacks and whites have the same abilities they have just different color skin but maybe because they come from a different country

They say that the whites are always discriminating against blacks but actually it is the other way around because blacks all seem to think they are hard done by but the government here looks after blacks more than whites................Just not fair

First your description is really confusing, almost as if a lawyer wrote it. LOL.\n\nOK, what type of society?  I would hope that we would have a society that accepts everyone as equals regardless of sex, color, race, national origin, religion, sexual preference, gender presentation, etc.\n\nUnfortunately this is not so.  Many people, even in the US discriminate against one another for so many unjust reasons.  And there is no reason for it at all.  The quote, "Can't we all just get along" is so true as Dr. King's famous speech of "I Have a Dream."  The foundations of equality have been laid out on a piece of paper located in Washington DC, called the Declaration of Independence.  It is a crying shame that society cannot live by those immortal words.

If by equal rights you mean one group had a chance to be discriminated against, now the other group has that same chance, then sure.  If you mean the same rights to all people regardless of race, color or creed, then no.
