The South can't remain racist for another 100 years, if so then damn those people are really inbreds

Yes. People hate difference. Sad but true.

Hard to say.
I mean, attitudes change over time. There are lots of old rivalries people don't care about anymore.
The truth is that while racism has always been there so has an opposite force to integrate and learn from other cultures races.
In order for racism to go away, some areas would have to be less isolated and some more efficient wealth distribution would have to take place.
For example, in the US if blacks on average are significantly and visibly poorer than whites, racism will continue.
Racial mixing is large number may in the long term reduce racism.
Edit: Take for example Catholics and Protestants. In North America, that used to be a huge deal and now its not. Likewise, Irish Americans are no longer consider "low class". Italians used to be discriminated. Now most of us don't care so much. My uncle married an Italian. That was fine. There are lots of communities where people do have relations with other people of a different race and its mostly o.k. It used to be that racism was the accepted norm and now its a dirty secret. It still exists but not to the extent it did in the past. This is why I think eventually it will go away but when you have situations where people are marginalized economically according to race its going to take a lot longer. Mabye 100 years is not enough but then again, all the other prejudices I mentioned happened about 100 years ago.

As long as there are human beings there will hatred. Will we be here in there 22nd century, I am very doubtful of that. All the bigotry and racism you see is a symptom of our sin nature. While we live in this body of sin we will continue our sin habit.

People will always see differences. I have always found it interesting that minority groups seems to want equality, but with priveleges. As long as race is used as leverage to gain advantages over other people, racism will always be an issue. We're all guilty in one way or another. Our ancestors started it, but society keeps perpetuating it.

Most human beings will be mixed races by the 22nd century. We will all end up olive skinned in a few decades anyway.

We will eventually all look alike, but maybe not by then. If you think about it, all the people on earth right now, will be dead, or most of them, so for each 100 yrs,meaning hate and such will to. I just think eventually it will go away for good.

it depends whether or not we as a species still think racism is necessary, b'cos so far we do.
i think the question is how long does it take 4 us 2 realise these cancerous growths and extract them. we can & will evolve 4rm it, but it will be a group choice

when has there ever been none, sad but I think it trickels down through the centuries through our childeren and there childeren and so on. I think the key is to work on acceptance and empathy to all

Yes, but the form may be different.
We're hardwired to protect our group.
The question is what is the group we're protecting
