Yes it exists! Why it exists no one knows but the people who are racist are ignorant, dumb and lame. There are more important things going on to be worried about.

Yes, it exists, 1) because of ignorance and 2) because I think every one of us is suspicious of someone who doesn't look like us until we get to know them or we overcome our ignorance.
Even children can look at each other and know something is different. How they perceive the difference is how we adults respond.
This business of we're all the same is hogwash. We're not all the same and I'm glad we aren't. I'm glad to know of other people's cultures and differences...where we're all the same is we all put on our shoes and socks the same way and a few other boringly similar living functions.
If I see a scruffy, large, mean looking white guy (I'm white) with tattoos and a large, tidy, man of colour (any colour) wearing a suit in a dark alley, which am I most likely to feel safe with? It'll be the man in the suit every time - it's not the colour of the man, it's who he is - I know clothes don't make the man, but they sure do represent him.

Yes it is still alive. As stated above this is from "Ignorance". Ignorance in this case is what people have been "Taught". We can see young children do not have this ignorance, as, they will play with any color person. It is after they begin to grow up and hear the Racist Statements of those around them, as when they begin to develop a Racist Attitude toward others. This "Taught" mind set can come from, Family, Friends even Television, many sources contribute to the Re-Enforcement of Racism, very sad.

Are you crazy, you mean you don't know the answer, you should know just from the color of your skin. It still exist and will forever exist as long as there is the majority of one color in power, the white man is in powrer so the black man has it the worst then black women. Silence is the key factor in oppression, blacks are oppressed because we are 400 years behind and we will continue to be oppressed becuase of the way we respond to the oppression which is not speaking up for our people and being positive of our selves most blacks that I know are self hating whether they know it our not, and the proof is that we perm and straighten our hair, try to stsy out of the sun try to act and talk white (whatever that is) and believe that darker you are the uglier once we start loving ourselves we can start working on everyone else.

I think now days its not colour discrimination but discrimination against peoples attitudes IE Anthony Mundine is a Aboriginal Australian Boxer who's trying to be an Afro American Rapper its pathetic why cant people just take on their own personality and image , The tosser should be proud of his Ancestry not trying to hide it. He thinks he has no backing by us because of his colour but its because hes a wanker.

yes it still exists because people want it to.
There are white supremicist groups all over this country, we just never hear about them until they are wanted by the law.
There will always be stereotyping going on whether it be in law enforcement, courtrooms, classrooms, whereever,
ignorance has a lot to do with it. but ignorance means without knowledge, and a lot of this comes from just plain attitude.

Well most racists have extremely small penises and less than a third grade education. ( Think of it. Jethro Bodine had a sixth grade education.) They are angry ,fat, losers. They won't show their faces or bodies in public. They cover themselves in sheets because they have inferiority complexes. Real men judge people on their actions. Also, its directly proportional the less racist someone is the better they are in bed.

It exists simply because we visually identify things through our experience. Insurance companies tend to have higher premiums for cars that are painted red because they are thought to have drivers that get more speeding tickets and are more likely to be involved in more accidents. Even though it really depends on the driver, they tend to put it on the car.

It does exist. To divide the ignorant society by the politicians to reap the advantage of the rift.
