Yes, racism still exists but it's not just against certain ethnic groups now.  Every race is open to racism now days depending on where you are at or where you live.

Racism still exists, and it's sad.  I recall I worked for an elderly couple (I am Black; they were White).  I left the house and was greeted by "*bleep*, go home!"  I told the couple about it and it happened no more.  I took it they said something to their parents.  I think that all people should get along, regardless of race, creed or color.  ??? ??? ??? :rainbow:

Yes racism exists.  But it is not just a black thing.  Pretty much everyone will side with or chose their own race over another one.  Just how it is.

The idea that only whites are racist is ridiculous.  I find blacks to be much more racist than whites.

I know for a fact that racism is still rearing its' ugly head not only here in the U.S but the world over. I deal with it or hear it almost every day. It seems as though it is worse now than when I was younger. I feel as though it is because our values as a society are dissolving. We (not All) are trading morals for status. The younger generation has no respect for anyone regardless of COLOR. Maybe this is due to the fact of both parents having to work to make ends meet and children are left to fend for themselves. I was raised not to judge a book by its cover but by the content. I pray that one day we as a united people can respect each other and appreciate the great diversity we have. In Gods' eyes we are all brothers and sisters. :peace:

My thoughts are I feel to apologize to those who suffer things. I went thru same things. Pregnant and all. I just pushed on and said God will see me thru.

Yes it does exist. I have a biracial grandson and there are still so many rude ignorant people in the world you would not believe the looks and remarks I have heard and seen. Their loss. I pray for them.

I grew up with biracele familys, a few of my aunts and uncles who married different races sowe never thought about it. It was all just one big family. 11 uncles and aunts with about 47 cousins. My aunt patra's family were latino and i thought all of her family was my aunts, uncles and cousins did not know better until i was a teen ager and we are still all close. If we did not have those such as al sharpton and jesse jackson and their vile speeches about all of whites were racies it would be a better world. Now Opera is getting in on it and i have lost all respect for all 3 of them. Now we can't say anything about all the trouble that is happening because of the black kids running rampent. Of course most of them come from families who are drwing handouts. Which i believe is wrong they should be working not roaming the streets doing bad things because they are bored.

Of course racism exists - AND it exists AROUND THE WORLD and comes in EVERY COLOR OR RELIGION OF THE RAINBOW.  It's there, it always WAS there, and it will ALWAYS BE there.  Not only does "racism" exist, so does "reverse racism."

Racism Still Exists and in my belief will always exist. Martin Luther King Died Trying to make a change in that. He actually did.. The king made a big diffrence to where mixed races actually converse and what not. It seems to matter to people the color of one one anothers skin.Which really doesn't make any seance because life is full of color. If we were all meant to be the same color then we would be. The most important part that people need to grasp is acceptance. People are afraid to accept due to what others may or may not think. I have noticed this. I have seen people get mad over mixed races having a baby and then the baby isn't really accepted because it's mixed.. Really? The baby had nothing to do with how they were made or have a decision in the process. People Don't realize Racism is still a big problem all over the world. We tend to shrug it off but Racism is cruel and ugly. We all have the right to live the way we want without being judged by our skin colors. It's the way life is suppost to be. The world is filled with to much hatred and violence we don't need the extra added bonus. What i struggle with the most is when people see rasicm happening but doesn't want to stand up and say Hey That's not right! We are all equals. Untill this day happens We will Struggle and Struggle.. Stand up People Racism Is not Funny nor a joke. It's time to Stand up against racism and let people be free once and for all.
