Not trying to be cruel here...but really what does the color of somebody's skin have to do with ANYTHING? I wish somebody would invent a drug to administer at birth to make everybody the same color so we could get away from such a trivial issue and focus on things that are far more important!!! I know I am gonna get some bashing on this one...so just to be clear...I don't think we really need to drug a baby, ok?

Yes it was old 20 years ago. An entire generation of African American kids have grown up believing they are owed something. Yes it was there grandparents that were denied rights. But we all have equal rights now for 40 years?Its the aholes like "rev jesse" that make there money exploiting there own people,and keeping the racism card going.

On Racism, no, it is a cancer on society.
On race being used as a reason for some one failing or not even trying to improve themselves, yes.
Case in point, myself;
My father dropped out of 8 th grade and joined the military the day after his 17th birthday. When he finally retired from the civilian world he was teaching Master's classes in computer programming.
One of my grandfathers was the first one in his family that wasn't a sharecropper. My grandmother was the first in her family to finish high school. They met because she was more or less the "village scribe" and would read folks letters they had received and write their responses back.
I went to a vocational high school but made enough money to buy a couple of homes and see most of the world.
Yes, I am white but the only reason that anyone in my family got up in the world was that they tried and worked hard for it.

Well, I wouldn't necessarily make everyone the same color at birth but I agree with you on the grounds that people play the race card on a regular basis, which in my humble opinion, is far too much.

There are extreme forms of racism with hate violent undertone and gentle variety of racism the place human beings might make exciting of or belittle. In united states of america of america the racism is amplified via fact we are in an environment that's of mixture cultures. what's an American? Is that individual white or black or another colour? those variety of delight of custom additionally proceed to blur the lines, incredibly being interior the main capitalistic and aggressive environment interior the international. human beings tend to ask the unstated question of whos on authentic and whos on the backside while it is composed of race and cluture. Racism will alway exist in a comfortable style via fact we've such distinctive cultures interior the international, however the racism of violence and hate that we see in united states of america of america stems from proverty, the have nots. i assume it rather is much less complicated to look on the concern as a black /white/different colours concern, then what the actual concern is, proverty and wealth. united states of america of america as an test is far less then 3 hundred years old, it rather is plenty from developed or mature. And as so, the actual concern is the wealthy are so rich and the undesirable, look at New Orleans after Katrina, are so airborne dirt and dirt undesirable. united states of america of america is a brutal place the two you have it or you do no longer (money). in case you have been privliaged to seeing rich peolpe of all colours meet and communicate you will understand that it has on no account been a black & white or different colour situation yet a wealthy and undesirable situation. money, a lot of it buys civil habit and social and enviromental information or a minimum of the preception of it. once you do no longer know the place your next meal is coming from and your little ones are ravenous you have a tendency to get angery and if that anger isn't quenched via making some money and having a destiny it gets grotesque. united states of america of america the test has survived via the years, we've had our grotesque moments and at circumstances our terrific shines out, yet now days it rather is complicated to inform which direction we are headed, in basic terms history will tell wheather those have been growing to be years or regressing years.......the test maintains.

I dont focus on racism...there are many forms of racism I don't think making our skin the same colour will work somehow. Racisim is a form of prejudice which is a form of discrimination.

Yeah, the race card is played just a bit too much.
It's pretty old hat and only works on the un-innoculated.

Why can't we all just be people?
I liked it better when the only reason to dislike another person was when girls had cooties! Now that I'm older, I don't dislike them, and instead of running from girls with cooties, I'm trying to get some...
Cooties, that is
