A lot of black people still say they are discriminated against. Why is that?
<|assistant|>
Many black people still face discrimination in the United States due to long-standing inequality, including racism, inequalities in education, poverty, housing, and health care. Institutional and systemic racism remain prevalent and perpetuate discrimination and unequal access to opportunities for African Americans. Even when there has been some progress in terms of rights and access, discrimination continues to be a pervasive issue in the U.S. society.  In addition to that, racism and discrimination remain pervasive in a variety of other institutions and systems in the U.S., such as the criminal justice system, employment and education. Racial disparities in these systems are often rooted in historical and structural factors, making them difficult to address. As a result, many African Americans continue to experience discrimination in the 21st century.
