The very fact that you can list in a short email the number of people of 
color in power in the local or federal government (and I don't mean to 
imply that Krasnoff's list is complete--there are a few he missed) is all 
the proof that is needed that institutional racism is alive and well.

WM:  Mr. Krasnoff is confusing the presence of a few people of color with 
the institutional nature of racism. Any of the above people has only a 
very limited ability to change the institutionalized racism that we are 
subjected to and then only if he/she were to set out to do so. That would 
certainly exclude both Rice and Thomas (Hightower, Thieves in High 
Places). SSB and Finney had/have very little power to address 
institutionalized racism.
