Do you think racism still exist?
Admitedly I think race is used as a cop out for all lot of things and when it is appropriate people are skeptical but do you really believe that all things are equal for people of color in America? I just read where a young lady said "Black people want to be superior" I do not believe that. Just look to the messages society send about latinos, blacks and asians for proof. How someone who is non white develops a superiority complex in that context is amazing. I think black people have poor leadership picked by the media like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson they are opportunist and this is maginified because of race and there loud opportunist come in all shades. Blacks do not pick battles well and choose to focus on nonsense instead of real issues some latino groups to more black. I think minorities are marginalized esp. latinos, blacks and asians. Native Americans are completely over looked (my opinion). WHY? DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE RACE IS NOT A FACTOR

As long as there are races (or at least people who feel that it is important to identify by race) then there will be racism of some sort.
Is race a factor? Yes.
Should it be? No.

Absolutely racism still exists? Why all you have to do is scan the Q&A's of YA and that alone answers your question. As far as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson goes they do not represent me I represent myself as an individual. I could make blanket statements and say whites have horrid representation as well w/ bush and his whole cabinet, but I know he isn't a representative of the whole white race. There is no race card here. Theres just a bunch of people that are living in la la land thinking this "we are the world" fairytale where racism doesn't exist. And I suspect those folks are the ones it doesn't effect so therefore they are naive or just plain don't care because they don't have to deal with it.
And all these folks that are bringing up affirmative action as a form of racism are laughable. The main reason AA exists is because of racism and exclusion. They had to force employers to do right by its own American citizens. Don't get mad at blacks get mad at some of the majority that made it that way.

LOL I am walking proof that racism still exists......although I am no more racist than most blacks.
There are alot more racist people out there than you think. And I'll tell you affirmative action is a form of racism, not to mention a cop out that should have long ago been abolished.

racism still exists. you're more than likely not a minority so you don't have to pay attention to it as much.

As long as there is affirmative action, racism will exist.
