Jeez, crucify me, I forgot religion. I was born and raised in Philly, so much for your opinion.

I don’t think that any sane person would deny that racism and sexism exist in the US. I think, however, that to some degree it is declining. In other respects it has become more subtle. The racist and sexist remarks that are coming out due to the presidential campaigns are to be expected but the vicious attacks that have no substance and that seem to be directed against particular candidates may be masking a more subtle form of both. It’s not easy to determine.

Some people still use race as a scapegoat for why the got arrested, hurt, or lost an election. I'm afraid we'll never be able to look past that as a whole country

Not just race and Gender but also religon. The fact people question mitt rommneys mormon roots and Barak Obama's supposed muslim connections is just a joke. Both men are fine indivudiuals who show they have a a great ability to unite people and not divide.

Racism and bigotry are not isolated to the US. They are found in every nation, tribe and tongue. Real lasting change only occurs when the heart of man is changed, and that change only comes when there is a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Only then can one truly love his fellow man.

No. It is only when a candidate runs on the platform of race and gender and does not get elected does it appear that way.

Maybe. I think they reflect how shallow the average American is to have their attention drawn away from real issues with pettiness like most acts of racism are. Politicians from both sides use these to draw attention away from bigger things. Bush tries to draw attention away from issues like the war, like millions in funding for the war that is unaccounted for, etc.

No, just because someone is not chosen does not mean their are racial undertones to go with it. Take Obama for example. He could be Lilly white, but he still has no experience and he is still a left wing liberal. I won't vote for Hillary either, or John McCain unless that is my only choice. Don't insert racial problems where there are none.

Stop pretending it is 1955, America is neither racist or bigoted, unless you count affirmative action as racist. Look not voting for black or female candidates that are contrary to my best interests does not make me racist.

We don't need elections to know that.
All we have to know is that Al Sharpton gives awards to black men that say "nappy headed ho" and demands that white men saying it be fired.
It's pretty obvious.
