In the majority of our society today, racism against the black cultural population is no longer an issue. Blacks and whites can hold the same jobs, attend the same schools, eat at the same lunch counters, and befriend or marry a person of another race. Blacks and whites have equal access to opportunities in education and career fields. Although there will always be some racist individuals, these facts prove that as a country, we no longer hold racist beliefs, and we no longer see racism in the vast majority of our society.
Assignment: Does racism still exist in out country, or has it been eradicated? Plan and write an essay in which you develop you point of view on this issue. You may support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading of any piece of literature we’ve read as a class during the course of the unit, including (but not limited to) the article “What Katrina Teaches Us about the Meaning of Racism” by Nils Gilman, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, Huckleberry Finn, Frederick Douglass’s autobiography, class discussions or notes, studies, experiences, or observations, and certainly your own research. (You must discuss the novel Huckleberry Finn in your essay.)

I'm not doing your homework for you!
So I'll give a personal opinion.
Racism does still exist in Britain, if you don't think that it does then where have you been. Why do you think that people in Britain support organizations such as the BnP !!! Yes by today's standards, people have come more tolerant of Black people as they are more apparent through British society more than ever, but a negative perspective is still generalised about Black , Asians etc.
People are just not overt about it anymore.
Because we live in a country which is diverse in different ethnic groups, and we are all supposed to be politically correct this nation is deemed DIVERSE. But trust me as a Black person this is not always the case. The British seem to take the '' don't take a offense'' attitude before they say things.

Racism still exists today. But, today it is more individual than widespread. For example, if you start walking to the parking lot from the mall and notice a black man coming in your direction, what would you do? Women may clutch their purse, turn around and go back in the mall. (Not all people do this.) Another thing that is still racist is affirmative action. All affirmative action does make employers look at potential employees as black, white, Asian, Native American, etc and say we have a quota to meet.

it is not possible for the human nature to get along with a lot of people so therefore we argue and we fight and even murder. what makes it racist is other people looking in. if its white on black its racist but if its black on black its gang related or white on white could be hatred?
i believe true racism is almost gone in the majority of the world as most countries don't have slavery or laws depicting otherwise...
sorry I'm not any help with finny boy... never read or studied the book as it bored me... but that's just me.

Racism still exists in America...it is just hidden. as a public agenda it is politically incorrect however in the minds and hearts of people who are in positions that they can intimidate or cause someone of another race to lose out on something...these racist people use their positions everyday to cause havoc in innocent peoples lives.

I would look up quotes by the good 'reverends' Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. They stay in power by keeping racism alive.
