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!

No.  It is the fact that the laws that are intended to try to even the playing field like affirmative action are racist.  Racism works both ways.  To not be racist is to not care what ethnicity a person is.  Though I am white, I always fill out the forms saying that I am blasian.  What's worse is that laws like affirmative action don't attack racism, they just try to turn men of a different race white.  It is trying to force assimilation.

PANCHITA linda, name calling is not a powerful tool. Knowledge and good argumentative statements are for the wise. The more we use the word racist, the more the actual situation converts itself into a racist issue and not the original basis for solving a problem.  I am ignoring the racist variable altogether when formulating my opinion because this is an economic issue. Be objective when standing up for a cause. Subjectivity is cause for strife.

Name calling is the last resort of people with no argument .\nThere is nothing racist about wanting the enforce the immigration policies of a nation. In fact, using the term “racist,” or calling someone biased in one way or another [toward race] is undoubtedly the stupidest argument you can use, and not to mention a blatant show of your hand, which proves the fact that you have nothing left to argue with, and are using it as a last resort.

Very young children are not racist.\nHate is taught by older people.

Of course! Racism is not about a degree, it is about the color of your skin. Ignorant morons will always hate what they do not understand.

I think if a person isn't educated enough about racism, he/she might not be able to clearly identify it when it occurs. Education is also the only way to fight against racism.

Yes, you'd like to think of them as criminals rather than just people looking for any kind of work.  I'm sure it makes your racism that much more comfortable.

I really don't know. Racism will always be around because for some reason some people think they are superior to others. Just ignore the racists and continue with life and remember, only God has the right to judge us...\n\nAlso, to the person above who said "get all your LA RAZA and MECHA friends and go back to Mexico" or something like that... you are an idiot (enough said!)! Damn racists!

I have not seen anything that says it is better.\n\nWhat message should the young people of today pass on about Anne's story? \nThe message to take from Anne's story is to stop prejudice and discrimination right at its beginning. Prejudice starts when we speak about THE Jews, THE Arabs, THE Asians, THE Mexicans, THE Blacks, THE Whites. This leads to the feeling that all members of each such group think and act the same. That results in prejudice. Lumping entire groups of people together is RACISM, because it denies the fact that everyone is an individual. Even our own brothers and sisters or parents are not exactly like we are. So how do we dare to lump entire groups of people together? If any German had ever asked Anne to tell something about herself, I think she would be still with us today. However, nobody asked: she was just a Jew! Therefore, never base your opinion about anybody else on the color of that person's skin, or on the passport that a person carries, or on the family that person comes from, but only on what the person says and does and on NOTHING ELSE.

Unfortunately not anytime soon racism has been around since the beginning of time. I commend your wife for sticking through her devotion to the children even in times of adversity. I know when people talk about racism they assume that a minority has been the victim of the discrimination but they don't seem to understand that non minorities do experience racism from minorities that is just as hateful and mean. I can relate from that experience because  I am a mixed race person and i have experienced racist remarks for being too white and then the other side being to dark there seems to be no neutral ground. I guess what is so appauling is that these children are being taught to hate at such young ages which will damage them later in life. If only the parents of these children could understand that your wife is only there to help their children because someone needs to help them the parents seem to reject that help.

Yes, it should.  It's not racism and it makes sense.  Why is racism or non-sensical to have a standard of communication within a county?  Is it the responsibility of the citizens of this country to learn every language known to man?  Don't think so.

No. All it does is teach discrimination. People will argue that it help some people but violating the constitution just to help some people is not a good idea. \nIf you want to help the disadvantage the time to start is when they are young and in school.

What do you mean, The USA has been a racist country since day one and is slowly showing improvement in race relations.

I personally would . On the other hand racism these days seems to be more hidden then ever . The people who make judgments on race are smart enough to stay politically correct in public . But in the anonymity of a voting booth ?\nIt would also depend on the agenda of the candidate . If they were vocal on Black issues they wouldn't stand a chance . For your info I am Caucasian.

"The whole 'because whites were so bad in the past' is a ridiculous excuse, and not an answer."\n\nSorry, but it IS an answer and a valid one.
