What do you think about racism in today's society?

wow..a serious topic.i think that racism is inevitable,because every country is different habits,different beliefs,which led to confrontations and conflicts.Although inevitable,but we can put it to minimize the harm.this requires the joint efforts of human beings.I still firmly believe that people in this world is equal.

racism is always going to be a big part of life i think, because people love to blame things on something and i guess race is an easy target, but it definately is a multi-lane highway, every race has people in it that are racist against another. It is better than 50 years ago in the sense that people are treated more equally even if at times they feel they are not.. they are. i dont understand racism in general.. a person is a person, racism is just someones opinion, and how highly people value that particular opinion varries from country to country, and from race to race. not sure if this makes all that much sense (im tired) but thats my thoughts on the matter

Racism is the thing that I hate. i have seen in all countries, it exist in any form. It has taken a bad shape in recent time when recession is looming over the world. It has drove people to feel hatred to others.Its something that has witnessed racial attacks by some people towards students of other countries. Its shame.

RAcism is insanely growing! I mean, I think that everyone should be equal... There shouldnt be anything called reverse racism... I think it should just be racism. And If no one can use a derogatory term for african americans, than no one should be able to use the derogatory terms for other races and get a laugh. I think it should be equal. I dont think anyone should be able to get away with what others cannot. I think that it is a million way highway, because it takes a lot of people to start turning things around. I think a lot of people need to stop taking things so personally and stop using race as an excuse or an stumbling block. We are all human beings and we are in the same country, I think the first major step would be for people to stop filling out that race box on applications, and forms, and check other and put human... I wish everything was based on the individual, and not race, but unfortunately, that is not the case. Why? who knows exactly. But I think that either every race should be allowed to have pride in their race, and not be considered racist. I think everyone should not speak badly about a specific race or ethnicity. I think it should be equal for all, and no one should have privelages or rights that others do not have especially based on race.

Personally I don't really notice racism as an issue unless the government is mentioning it, save for one situation and that is my lot, and a lot of it is centered around Barak Obama Seriously, whats up with that? (Like you said, mostly people who are accusing others of racism) I don't see a lot of racism, And when I was little, the little bit of racism I did know, was fear, of being not politically correct, Of using the wrong word or name/title W/E... when I was little (and still now) the difference of skin color is like the difference of hair color with one additional thing, You can be charged with harrassment or get in trouble for using the wrong words... thats my biggest issue with racism, I should be able to talk with someone of a different skin color the way I do with everyone else, without fear off getting charged with harrassment, but then, I wouldn't abuse that, others might.

Racism is always going to be there in our world. We as a whole are never going to be able to agree on everything. Each individual person is brought up differently than the next. Our parents instill in us from our birth what they think is right. It's up to us as adults to either continue that line of thinking or break away and find another line. But generally speaking, most adults do not. They continue to raise their own children with the ideals and goals that they were raised with themselves. Racism isn't just a one way street like the media makes it out to be. Any time a caucasion person makes anything that could be considered offensive towards any other race, that caucasion is hung up on display by the media. The public is outraged. Yet when a black person makes a derrogatory comment about a white person, nothing is said.

hi yes racism is still going strong a nd nobody seems to care about it. I do care and wish we could all put a stop to it. Yes I voted for Obama and let the poor man alone to do his job. Too much crap is spread that is so untrue. Even 'here on mylot. why do I feel that way? Because people are making a big issue out of Obama not being a Wasp. Sorry folks but a lot of us Americans voted him in and that must say something for a lot of my fellow Americans. We can not all be idiots or fools like some Republicans like to say and think.

Obviously things have gotten much better than 50 years ago when certain races had to use seperate bathrooms and sit at the back of the bus. I think the fact that we have an African American president is a testimony to how much things have changed. There will always be those that are racist unfortunately and always those who will play the race card. I don't think it will ever completely be gone, but I do think that things have improved a great deal. We still need more improvement, but I believe we are getting there.

Hey, Well to tell you the truth, I don't really mind about anyone's race. It doesn't really matter where you come from, or what you look like. What matters is who you are inside, as a person, your actual character. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Race will always be an issue with all groups, blacks hate whites, whites hate blacks, mexicans hate blacks, ect., ect., but until our politicians and media stop using it for political gains and power we will never get anywhere. I feel in america today anyone (minus the now socialist policies) has a chance at the american dream, with that said though no one in my opinion should have a free ride based on race, it should be talent alone.
