Honestly, even though the rights for Black people have changed since 1939, someone of a Black race can still feel isolated in my opinion. Though, racism these days is rarely an issue, it still is an issue and is still happening around the world. Not everyone accepts black people, simply just because of their color. For example, lets say a league is having tryouts for baseball, and its down to two kids, a black boy and a white boy. Now no one else on the team likes the black boy, except one of them who is white and is friends with him. The black boy is one of the best baseball players in the county, but because no one likes him they choose the white boy that was left and the black boy's white friend won't stand up for him because he doesn't want to get kick off the team.

Racism is still happening these days, some people may not notice it, but those who do know it's still a problem. Even racist "jokes" which are really meant to be insults are being made, and though it may not seem like it bothers the person toward its being made for, deep inside it really does. So to end this, yes I feel a black person in 2009 can feel isolated, and for the dumbest reason too, JUST because they are light colored. But thats what makes us all unique.
