Is racism really over in America?


Why are people so quick to say racism is over but yet it isn't! I see it everywhere! Why is the world so fooled because we have a black president that's just a start! You must remember it was him or the retard Palin to choose from and America still struggled with that? Let's keep it real if a white president wanted to give health-care to America would it be such a problem? I would love to hear what other people think?

I admittedly suffer from ignorance when it comes to racism and that's mostly because I don't care. Meaning I don't care what your skin color is or how tall you are. I don't see the racism because I'm not looking for it but I'm under no illusion that it's gone. A good majority of the people who voted for the Republican party have a problem with a black skinned president. It doesn't matter to them that he has a white mom.

I grew up in a trailer park with all kinds of people, the only time I ever really saw any kind of racism is when someone would point out that the black sheriff who lived a couple doors down from me had two mixed boys. I was so tanned during the summer I was regularly darker than they were. For the most part no one cared.

For me to see racism today when I didn't really grow up seeing it is kind of disheartening. I mean, I grew up in an area with people that could have easily made racism an issue, yet it never was.

Eventually all the people who have a problem with skin color will die and they will have less and less impact on future generations. It's the same as same sex marriage. People opposed to same sex marriage will die and future generations won't have to deal with the ignorance we have today.
