Every place in this world has a racism problem to some extent, the U.S. is relatively good compared to other parts of the world. For example, you're Arab and I'm Jewish, and it's cool. That;s not the same elsewhere. PEACE!

I think every country has a racism problem against people that are not the same race. Some people are more mature and learn to live and explore other races and peoples way of living. I am was born in the u.s.a and some people treat me like a wet back cuz i look Mexican. My root are from Mexico and proud of it.
I have been discriminated because of that a lot and because I am disabled, so discrimination isn't only in racism but physical too. I hope one day for our children and our children's children racism and discrimination stops so they can live in a much better world than us. This is a great place to live we just need to make it a little better!!!

Yes, i do think America has a racism problem.
On the MTV awards, there was a black man who won the 'golden award,' i believe it was. I think this is wrong, because the person presenting the award talked about how awesome he is, and blah, blah, blah. This man won't be interviewed by a white person, eat with a white person, and none of his friends are white.
White people in the past were discriminating black people, but i think that has overall changed. Some people believe they are stopping discrimination and racism, when some people won't hang out with other people because they are of a different race or religion. This is not fair, when both racism and discrimination are wrong.
I personally have been discriminated against, because that i'm slightly wealthy people think i am rude, when I try to be the best person i can.
I wish people would stop playing the race card and flash to here and now. Discrimination is wrong, and you are apparently very wrong if you do not believe this.
Thank you for your time.

Not all Americans are racist. But racism is just like fresh orange juice. We squeeze oranges to get it. (No matter what commercials say about canned, bottled, or boxed orange juice.) When particular pressures are applied to certain persons, even though they smile, act curteous, and might even say, "friend", that pressure is like squeezing an orange. Lemon juice just wont come from squeezing an orange. Only what is in it will come out.
If a person is racist in his heart, pressure will reveal it.
What kind of pressure you ask? Good question Grasshopper... When the pressure of 17 African American families wanting to move into a predominately Caucasion neighborhood. When the pressure of a white guy who dates your sister and you are African American. When the pressure of immagrants from Mexico come here with hopes of a better life. When the pressure of a muslim or Arab person who minds his own business is looked at with hatred because of what Bin Ladin did. When the media does exactly today, to African Americans, what Adolf Hitlers propaganda Boss did to the Jews in history; portraying them as the lowest in society, and eventually the "problem of modern society".
What is kinda funny is that this propaganda went on for so long about the Jewish people, that when Hitler ordered them exterminated, society was so numb, and decensitised, that nobody lifted a finger to help them, at first.
So yes is my answer. But exactly who is a racist? Keep living, keep your eyes and ears open, the pressures of life will show you who they are, if you don't already know them.
I have been touched by racism. I feel sorry for people who miss out on how much friendship and love I have to share, simply because of my God ordained color.

The only racism problem America suffers from is a lack of racism. We need more of it!

Yes, i think there is a racism problem in america
1. you have something i dont have
2. your children go to a better school than mine
3. you drive a better car
4. you have a better education
5. you live in a better neighborhood
what im saying is racism comes in all shapes and sizes and reason and it shouldn't be like that because we are all out for one thing and one thing only SURVIVAL and if we cant do it together what have we HAVE lost is "our identity in a society of racism"
