When I was growing up, there were examples of racism everywhere. Qualified Negroes could not find a suitable job. Schools refused to have them. They were relegated to the lowest, and lowest paying jobs. Landlords wouldn't rent to them; sellers of houses wouldn't sell to them. When a Black moved into a neighborhood, whites moved out and property values plumetted.
On a personal level, racial animus and insults were ubiquitous.
All basically gone now.
Marginally - qualified Blacks are welcomed almost everywhere, and examples of true discrimination are rare, and often bogus.
But there is no "equality" for reasons that make people uncomfortable.
