Ok, i'll give you one three year slice of my perspective from a one car dealership.
In my three years there, we had a minimum of 10 black dudes come in asking for applications, God as my witness all but one was wearing a t-shirt and jeans, some nicer looking jeans and t-shirts, some not so nice looking... but still, a t-shirt and friggin jeans into a professional environment, hands in the pockets, looking at the floor, mumbling.
Of those ten, there was one single dude who obviously had his shit together... dressed sharp, engaging personality, chatted us salesmen up before his interview, big smile... this guy knew how to get a job.
To a man we wanted this guy hired, "hey, i like him, he could be a good one"... but the owner was a hardcore old racist...
Now, does that tell you that "yep, every whitey is a racist who'll never see past it"... or that seven other guys were like "yep, i can work with him?'
Like i said earlier, there is no perfect world, but seven out of eight wanted that guy hired on the spot and grumbled amongst each other after he wasnt, because we needed another man, the owners excuse was "no car experience"... but do you see whre i'm going? for every example of whitey being a true turd, MOST are fairminded people who recognize a man when they see him.
