Every one is racist but most people can control how they act more than others can.

Well just look at the history of America. Lets see. We had and still have the KKK and to rival that we had and still have the black panthers. Then we have the ignorant people. We also have the educated yet ignorant people. To sum it all up. Yes, SOME people in America are racist. But then again SOME people in Germany, England, Ireland, etc are also racist. So its not fair to pin the racist brooch on just one country when there so many out there.
Just look at Hitler and his "Master Race" Blond hair blue eyes. Here is an intesting fact. Did you know Hitler's grandmother was Jewish?

well, yes and no. If you look at us next to some countries where people kill you due to your religion, no. If you look at the intolerance some (mostly older) people have towards race, yes. I live in the South, and I actually find that racism is not as prevalent here as you would think. I live in what is called down here a "mixed" neighborhood, and you don't hear people yelling "n--r" or cracker at anyone, we either ignore each other or get along depending on how the people feel. Yes, there is racism everywhere, but as long as you know what areas to stay out of you're fine.

I don't believe I am, but I think in comparison to other Western World nations, we are a bit more openly racist. In other countries, people are a lot likely to keep their mouths shut.
But the minorities that are targeted in different places change. For example, the U.S. is about the only big nation that has a good bit of racism against African Americans. But in France, the major disliked group is Algerians.

I'd say 99% of Americans are racist. Perhaps blind people are not. But...I've even seen people being bigoted in their OWN RACES! What's up with that? Lord, when will we realize that under this skin, we are all alike. I have a problem with "lazy", "gang-bangers" of any race, so I guess I'm racist too. Otherwise, if you are an American (or want to be an American) and pulling your weight in this country, you're fine with me. I don't like supporting deadbeats of any race. Is that real enough??

USA is the most racist nation of Anglo Saxon race and Black same as whites. There is all lot of races fighting who is better and who biult US. Black people want reperations and white people do not like when they can't say "N' ward and do not like double standards for black people to call the cracker whity white trash so some of whites are racists to blacks the way they act.

America itself is not "majority" racist
i think racism is just a lot more public here (like people are more openly racist).
slice of paradise? yeah, in hurricane season.

She saw a white man insult a black man? Wow. Imagine that! It was probably because the black man was acting like a racist bastard first! They way they usually do.

you does now no longer evaluate the subjects we may likely record as accomplishments. in basic terms as you and that i does now no longer agree on G. W. Bush's time contained in the Oval workplace. i visit vote for Obama back, until eventually ultimately someone steps up contained in the Republican social gathering who genuinely makes some journey. (convinced, i'm an independent. i'd have voted for McCain until eventually ultimately he chosen an uninformed operating mate.)
