Although I am aware that the responders on Ask Yahoo are only the tip of the ice berg, I was just wondering about the opinions of some of the American people.
If you could, please only respond with educated answers. Thanks

Yes, there is racism. And frankly i am sick of it. I have seen racism with my own eyes. And i don't get it. Like people just talking crap all the time. And at the same time i'm like what's the point of saying that, do u feel good about yourself because of that.And in reality we really are not going anywhere so you can hate all you want but it's not doing anything to you but making you look stupid and ignorant!

The KKK still meets in America, and will continue to meet as long as they're allowed to. So yes, there is still racism toward African Americans in the United States. I do not and never will agree with those opinions, because one of my best friends is black, as well as some of my cousins. I am not a racist person, but I know people that are. It's quite sad actually.
I agree that it has diminished a LOT though compared to how it was a few decades ago.

It does still exist, although it is significantly diminished and the majority of the remaining racism has gone underground.
Once I went to a predominantly black city college and heard things few white people get to hear. It gave me a fresh perspective.
On the other hand, some of my white acquaintances say things that surprise me.

Yes. Racism is the problem of people without power - on both sides.
Just take a look in this forum!

Racism is the belief that one race is superior to another, most people I've met who dislike blacks don't believe they're superior to blacks, it's for other reasons. And not just whites, this includes members of several racial/ethnic groups.

It sure is present. Racism toward race different than their own is present, and blacks are no different.

It does still exist, but it's nothing like it once was. These days racism goes in all directions...
