Having lived in North Carolina, I will conceed that racism exists. Even OPENLY and in your face.

When I was confronted by a brick wall when attempting to get financing for my education. I had to take steps to reach my goal. It included moving away from family and friends. Making a 4 year commitment and cutting my hair. My point is.... racism to me is near to a cop out to me. You have alternatives, you might not like them, but most people have choices.

Being put into a situation where you have to give up family or friends or hometown or education or anything else because of color is wrong. It is discrimination.
