affirmative action banished across the land & hyphenated American became a thing of the past?
Why or why not?

Sharpton & Jackson. I was trying to clump quite a few assumptions into a limited space.

No. Racism is ingrained in many people. They can still have those beliefs without ever uttering the N word. By playing the race card whenever they can, Sharpton and Jackson are doing their part to keep this country divided (they would be without a job and a platform if racism miraculously came to an end) Racism flourishes because of the racists and those who claim to be standing up for the 'victims'. Hate crime legislation and affirmative action have done more to divide us by giving special status to one group over another. Builds resentment and perpetuates the victim mentality.
I wish for a world with unity and without racism. One can dream

No, because contrary to popular opinion African-American's are only one class of many that suffer from Racism. You would need to basically take away all slang word, terminology, symbol, group, memory, book, religion, belief, orginizations that are built on one certain individual culture. As you know this land was taken away from the Native-American Indians (The name Indians was bestowed by Christopher Columbus because he thought he reached India) and given to the wanna be free people of Europe. Then each ship that came after brought more and more slaves. So every country world wide can honestly say they have a history of slavery and racism of their people. Especially those of the Native-Americans! So to answer your question, No racism will always be one of the negatives in the world.

No. i have traveled international wide and that i experience the u . s . to be the most racially divided us of a i have ever been in. There are parts of the country the position the police will pull over a black human being using in a "white" community only because of his dermis colour. There are neighborhoods the position an American Indian can not employ an residence because of their race. There are neighborhoods the position someone who in elementary words speaks English will be puzzled because each and each and every of the signs and warning signs are in Korean or Spanish. The races have a tendency to stay separate, parallel lives. And till this adjustments racism will by no skill die in u . s . a . of america. the in elementary words component to the u . s . it truly is preparation actual integration is the defense force, and they are not suited and function an entire different set of issues.

The Japanese where racists before WWII thinking they where the superior race
The whites where racists when thy purchased slaves and thought blacks where not as superior.
The Arabs where racists when they sold the slaves to the Americans thinking they where animals. (and know the Arabs in Africa are killing of blacks in a major way). The Arab Muslims in Africa are killing the black Muslims because there black
The racism in the western US is down to about 95% where in the east it is a lot higher. After you cross the Rockies it drops drastically. In the east if you are in a college town or a major city racism drops as well.
Now I see a swing going the other way, I have already seen it I have see blacks calling for the killing of whites on tv interviews and you here the clapping in the back ground.
I know Christians are the ones who pushed for equal rights and I think Christ will end up being the equaliser.
I am white Dutch German Scottish and my wife is Japanese and I see Russian show racism toward my children.
I could keep on going but I don't have the time and you probably don't either.
