 Well, people accuse the United States of being a very racist country, but I
 don't see any black people moving out of here.

Some blacks actually do leave these racist United States, but I expect most
stay because even with the racism that is in fact here in the U.S., the
equality of opportunity is better here than anyplace else on the planet.
In response the initial comment however, I see nothing wrong with blacks
trying to compete for equal consideration in arenas which may be racist -
after all, ever heard of Rosa Parks, Jackie Robinson (I will avoid going on
and on...) To win despite the odds is a triumph.
