Of course racial inequality and oppression exist in today's society. And, everyone knows it. Where do you want to start making comparisons? Every walk of life, every situation, whether political, social, or economic has distinctions that cannot be explained in any other way but racial inequality.

Truth is, the people who benefit most from racial inequality have absolutely no desire to see their benefits eroded in any way. Therefore, they encourage the information gathering and diseminating systems of this society to constantly pose the question, rather than present a truthful answer.

You can actually uncover the truth with your own eyes, ears, and body, if you want to. All you have to do is look around, listen, and move around a little bit. Pay attention to what you see and hear -vs- what you don't see and hear. Note the surroundings, and make your own comparisons. Look around the bank, the office, the shop, the restaurant, the neighborhood, your church, and schools. Go visit the courthouse when court is in session. Visit the jailhouse. Poke your head in the door at the local precinct. Listen to a police scanner. Note what you see and don't see. Note your experience for a week or so, paying particular attention racial comparisons. Note equality and inequality. Be honest with yourself. Then, spend a few hours gathering unbiased information so you know what's being represented as the truth. Next, try to verify that information with government statistics, and your own eyes. Don't listen to the opinions of ANYONE who hasn't done what you have just done.

Then answer yourself honestly.

The issue is not whether racial inequality or oppression exist. The issue is how long are YOU going to allow it to continue to exist.
