Many white people deny current effects of racism since slavery "was a long time ago." This excerpt from "Dear White America" by Tim Wise explains... "'Blacks aren't behind because of racism. They're behind because they're lazy.' I want everyone to really mull that one over- read it again, two or three times if need be until the fundamental contradiction and racist irony of the statement itself are super clear...in our denial of racism we are insisting that blacks as a group are defective. Yet the notion of group defect is the textbook definition of a racist belief, and if large numbers of us believe that argument to be true, how realistic is it to them presume we would be capable of responding in an unbiased and equitable manner when faced with a black job applicant, loan applicant or student in the classroom?

Beyond that, do we really believe that black folks need to be lectured about hard work, in a nation where, for generations, they were forced to do the hardest and most exacting labor in the entire country? In a nation where they provided as much as $1 trillion in unpaid labor under the system of enslavement? Do such people as this truly need to be shown the value of work by those who benefitted most from unpaid labor: a group that includes millions of persons whose parents have, for generations, handed down opportunities, jobs and substantial fortunes to us, regardless of work effort?
Are we to believe that blacks would choose to remain three times as likely as whites to be poor, rather than work harder? That they enjoy the excess mortality that derives from their current status at the bottom of the nation's racial and class structure- currently 100,000 black folks die each year who wouldn't if their mortality rates were level with those of whites- and opt to continue down that road, rather than work harder to survive? Can differential work efforts and values really explain why African Americans households today have median incomes that are one-third lower, adjusted for inflation, than what white households were bringing in 40 years ago? Are gaps such as these realistically the outgrowth of differential willpower alone?" The answer is 'no.'
