Yup. And always has been. Question is, do we care enough to try?

I suppose this is really the crux of the matter, and RaceCreatesCulture makes the compelling argument (or at least the gist of what he puts forth) that those of us who would like to see better have already lost.

So you're fighting an uphill battle from underneath; and it does put the onus on those who would like to see better in the awful position of doing "their part", but to what end will it affect anything?
