I can't even imagine how different my life would be if I was a minority.
Just last weekend, me and my three white friends strolled into a club without hassle, and the group of black guys behind us didn't get in because they weren't dressed properly. Even though they were wearing collared shirts and nice shoes and my group of friends were wearing tshirts and sneakers.
So they weren't allowed into a public bar because they were black. Does that seem fair to you? Being a white male, life is easy. In my entire life I've never had any problems getting into certain businesses, dealing with police, etc... Unfortunately my minority friends can't say the same.
