The ruling elite have been getting richer and richer whlile poor r geting poorer. This is done dlibertly. Giant tax cuts to the richest one% mean all the rest pay more taxes for less and less serives.
Then by failing to securing the southern boarders, which corperate has told congress or president that is what it wants. Plus refusal to increase minimun wage. As the standard of living keeps flling 4 average American, ruling elite want them all blaming each other. (as if the poorest of poor) looking 4 work had such power! As long as spics blame whtes, blame blacks what ever, racism keeps them from uniting and figuring out who is really responsable 4 their plight.

yes.
when I hear people asking if its okay to be a leader in society or when they tell me "I'm black , I have to be working harder" then I know there is racism.
When most women in entertainment ( regardless of race) have to emulate white beauty standards ( the myriads of women who do not have naturally blond hair, straight hair, or light colored eyes) then I know there is racism.
When I'm on this site and I read question about why such and such a race is like this, I get mad that someone would expect me to have an answer because I may be a part of said race.
Its mostly the ignorance that drives me nuts, that and our president frustrates me more.

Yes, it still exists. I have been on both sides of it...My dad makes Archie Bunker look liberal and I have done my best to free myself of racists thoughts, but they do still pop up from time to time.
I have also been the "token white" in a place of employment and treated like crap by the Black boss.
As long as there are races there will always be racists.

Yes, while living down in LA you can see the evidence of it. Plus, racism is prevalent in all the races towards others. Each group has their bad and good.

It's pretty obvious. Affirmative action is a way of providing preference to one race over another, regardless of any good intentions behind the philosophy.

You do not read or watch the news, do you? Of course it does. I believe it is starting to get worse as well.
