Not really. I think people may be a little quieter about their opinons than before because people may feel they are racist, but I think most people still feel the same way about the situation.

racism is a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race\nor racial prejudice or discrimination \nSo if you jsut don't like a certain person that is black or a diffreent color but you don't ahte all of them then no.

I feel that racism is taught. Learning to accept all people should be taught in the home at an early age. People need to realize that this world would be a boring place if we were all the same!

Okay...im black as you can tell. eh..hemm. But I think there is alot of pre judging out there. Very ignorant statements like teh one by SLICK 77 is it? Shows that there is still racism out there.  The fact is there are tendancies in all races  but to say that that is  the only color to do them is absurd. I find most racists are people who either havent grown up around other races or have grown up around them and got hurt by the situations. You also have teh ones who havent amounted to to much in society's eyes and they turn to the opposite race and say things that you would think hmmm....."are they looking in the mirror". I am married to a white man......and we both still have some pre judgements about each other "alil bit". but we have 3 bi racial childen been together 10 years met at a amusement  park (working there) He grew up in a mostly white town about 10.000 people(has used teh word nigger) when his girlfriend was liking a black guy(so again there is teh hater situation) hate can really bring the racism out in you. Think about it. Its a coping mechanism. a BIG FAT EXCUSE to make your self feel better. Because other wise you would have to say 'Oh..i am NOT smart of enough..or cute enough.....or have a good job....or enough money..I could go on and on. This subject is soooo complex. I know the struggle that blacks have went thru but SOME HOODRATS and REDNECKS/HILLBILLIES need to look at it how it is.  Take responsibility for YOUR own actions.My husband and i have grown over years he has never called me a nigger . if he heard that now he would whoop up on somebody Sooooooo... to answer your question yes its still here but I believe its all from ignorance and people can grow out of it and from it. we both never thought of being with each other but ...we met at work and it grew from there................racists=HURT PEOPLE......WHEW!

When you say why, I say why not?  If I truely believe in slavery, then I'd do it in a heart beat.  I'm sure there are things that you believe as true that others don't.  It was a culture thing.  You what I mean...Right?

I hate racism.\nIt's just wrong on so many levels, people should not be judged on the way that their skin is.\nIt's the inside that counts.

Because no matter how much we want to believe that racism doesn't exist anymore, it does! Nowadays it is just more subtle. It really sux!

I believe we are all inherently racist due to our evolutionary history.  Hominids are very tribal in nature; they make tools and attack other groups of hominids.  I do my best to treat everyone equally and as I would like to be treated because I don`t want to behave like our nearest relatives, the chimps.\nI believe if we are to progress as a species we must work hard to bury some of our baser instincts.

NO !! \nWhy is it not racist to hate my white neighbor for something?\nAnd yet I am racist for hating my black neighbor for the exact same thing.\nWe have played the race card so much , It has gotten to the point if we do not like any thing someone of another race does we are racist.

Yes you do have officers out there that are racist. Its sad that you can not even trust the people out there that are supposed to protect you. But if you think about it, everyone is racist in their own little way. Some just do not even notice it. Racism is sad though and we should all look at each other the same way. People are kinda like crayons...\n\nThey come in different shapes, sizes, and colors but we all still have to live in the same box

no matta how far we have advanced as a people racism still exists. Our forefathers have cushioned it for us a little  though and we have it a few ways better than our grandfather or grandmother or even our ancestors have had it. but it still exisits. racism now has taken on a few new forms though. experts have argued orgin of where racism began. Some say it was taught through parents. others would say racism is learned. but where ever racism has come from it still exisits. People just hate each other for a reason or we sterotype each other and judge each other and make assumptions that keep us from trusting or talking to differnet race. My father argues its only white and black in the world no asian no japenses no irish no french no nothing it is just black and white. I believe different. I have nothing against no one or no race if i dislike a person it is because i cant stand them not b/c of how they look

I think there are cases where I have extra privileges for no other reason than I am white.  I also feel grateful for my blessings (being intelligent, healthy, etc).  I know that racism is real and there are many less-privileged people with fewer advantages than I have had.\n\nOn the other hand I don't think racism is the cause of people's problems as often as they think.  I think things are not so cut and dry.  If you want to pick one cause for things being unfair then in my experience, especially in the corporate world, it's not what you know it's who you know.  I've seen it many times: an undeserving person gets a promotion because he knows the boss.  I guess you can't blame people.  Everyone wants to help their own.

If you mean "racists," then the answer is a definite "yes."\n\nIf you don't know the answer because you've never encountered one (that you know of) then consider yourself lucky!
