Aren't Asians and people from India considered "people of color"?
Certainly there are many people who are better off. I'm sure Vince Wilfork, economically, earns far more than I do. But, we're talking about people of color. Why are you parsing it? What point are you trying to make? Why not come out and say it?

I believe there is considerable racism in this country. There's enormous evidence, especially the fact that people of color by any measure are worse off than white people. How do you explain that fact?

How so? I do know the unemployment rate is higher for blacks/Latinos but why is that?
I know most of the prisons are filled with blacks/Latinos? Who's fault is that? Do white people make blacks/Latino people do crimes?
Do white people hold back blacks/Latinos people from getting a better education?
There comes a time when people of every race color and creed need to man up, so life is not fair? deal with it.....Work harder be smarter! The only person to blame for you life is yourself.....
Excuses are like *******s, everyone has one....what's yours? lol
Its time for racism to end and it will only end when people let go of it....When people stop making excuse because of the color of their skin....stop making excuses because lifes not be fair to you.....
Fat people get discriminated against, ugly people get discriminated against, women get discriminated against, welcome to the club have a seat enjoy the punch!
Yes if your black,fat,ugly you might have to work harder and be behind the 8 ball more, but life's not fair and your gonna have to work harder......stop blaming racism stop making excuses and grow a pair....
BTW wealth and stuff is not how you measure a man/womans worth, a measure of a man's worth is by what kind of person he or she is, wealth is a competition, life is not....
I'm assuming by "worse off" you mean money.....

Asians do better than whites.
Economically and educationally.

What are you implying? That skin color has something to do with crime?

So why do you think many people of color often get substandard education?

Spoken like a middle class person who has no understanding of others. Your culture, your family, your school system, your church all taught you how to work harder and smarter (as defined by this society). I think it's pure arrogance when you take all your privileges for granted and simply assume poor people have them, and that the problem with them is that they are too lazy.

Race is defined by the majority. For much of our history, Anglo Saxons were thought to be the superior race. It didn't matter how hard the Irish immigrants worked, they were inferior. Even today people like you seem to think that the problem with blacks is that they complain too much and don't work harder and smarter, apparently unlike other races, or perhaps you want to clarify your remarks.

Or perhaps people who aren't in position of white privilege like yourself think that unfairness is wrong and should be addressed by their society, including government and its laws.

Again, that's white privilege speaking. If you're a victim of discrimination, you may not know what the prevailing society means by working harder. (Work two minimum wage jobs? Work faster? Never complain?) And furthermore, to imply that somehow the civil rights movement did not have a pair of balls because they blamed racism is an awful point of view. No wonder you defend Ron Paul.

By worse off, I mean income, safe housing, access to healthcare, safe neighborhoods, good schools, family assets, family stability, etc.
Certainly there are many people who are better off. I'm sure Vince Wilfork, economically, earns far more than I do. But, we're talking about people of color. Why are you parsing it? What point are you trying to make? Why not come out and say it?
I actually DID "come out and say it"...I said Asians and people from India seem to do better than average in America.
And?

You guys have clearly demonstrated that you voted for Obama based off of his race with your own words. That right there makes my point for me as to why people should have to certify to vote. But hey, hopefully in this next election for you Obamanites that keep looking for that hope and change, you guys might get some more dead people to vote this time around as well. And maybe, just maybe Obama can send more of those New Black Panther Party members to some of the voting stations to intimidate peaceful people who are just trying to vote. And once those guys get arrested again, Obama and Holder can pardon them again since after all it's not racist unless you're white.
Welcome Texx.
I hope my endorsement doesn't make them mad at you.
You are hitting the nail on the head, the "know it alls" and "the racists" don't like that, they see themselves as The Way And The Truth.
You are dead on about all politicians ALL OF THEM they are filthy swine, people that you should teach your children never ever to use them as "A Role Model"
