...members of other racial groups in society. Any indicators of participation--income, occupation, education, life-expectancy, community decision making--demonstrate that people identified with black and brown racial populations have been arbitrarily excluded and dealt with in unfair ways. Because the basis for treating groups of people unjustly is their race, such unjust practices are appropriately labeled racism and the practitioners appropriately should be called racists. Institutional racism may be practiced by any group that controls the systems of society. Racists, therefore, could be blacks, browns or whites, depending on who is in charge...

The Government claimed that was unjust, especially for blacks, who would have begun building seniority as drivers had they not been confined to menial jobs in the first place. In its decision, the court majority found that the dual system, for all its faults, did not "have its genesis in racial discrimination," nor did it penalize blacks...
...toward him has been one of benign neglect. But the current retrospective of 65 works by Cavallon at the Neuberger Museum at Purchase, N.Y.-amplified by two Manhattan exhibits of 25 early Cavallon paintings at the Patricia Learmonth Gallery and nine late ones at the Gruenebaum Gallery-shows how unjust that neglect has been. It brings into full view one of the most lucid, steadfast and lyrically articulate bodies of work in modern American painting...
