I seriously doubt that a black person would be treated unfairly “in the world of Donna Reed”.

Au contraire, mon frere. I'm black, and lived through the 'Donna Reed' years in the US. Unfairness directed toward blacks was endemic in this country at that time.

That's not to say that there wasn't opportunity for bright, skilled, and determined blacks to achieve something approximating the American Dream, but my fathers had to work twice as hard to get half as far as men in the majority culture.

Luckily for me, that oppression was largely a relic of the past when I came of age.

Exactly. Doesn't exist any more. Hasn't for a long time. So why do we still have special skin color based laws in our society?
