This is an excellent point, and one that many white folk seem not to get. They search their souls and find no race hatred, and they infer that black folks' perception of inequality of opportunity is a mis-perception (or worse).

But I had to chuckle at the claim that black umpires never make it to the world series, given this year's crew (and not just this year's).
