Along the history, it weren’t whites the persecuted and discriminated, it was the black people. Whites almost don’t have an opinion on the matter, as it doesn’t affect them as it affects the ‘blacks’.

I too would have thought about the progress we’ve made while ignoring what I would expect in the future. Although some of these questions drive me a bit batty because I often don’t feel qualified to answer them. For instance, living in New England I’m hardly in a position to even ask African Americans how they feel about race, much less judge for myself. My sister just married an extremely wonderful African American man, and I wonder if, in our lily white (but supposedly liberal) culture, if they will encounter any problems.
