Does racism still exist in USA ?

Does racism still exist in USA ?

In the scope of real problems not really, no. Cries of racism has become a self-pity excuse and a cheap political tactic that's worn thin and is more destructive than helpful.

There you have it, folks... racism is not a problem. Black people just whine.

You actually do believe your messages are self proving truisms, don't you?

Nearly every American whines. Whining of unfairness it the American way. And then actually believe that by whining enough other people owe them and know there is really nothing they can do for themselves for all the unfairness against them. That isn't limited to African-Americans, but the vast majority of Americans.
 
Mosque/church/temple/retreat are all synonyms for the same thing so yes.

I'll agree that places focused on spiritual enlightenment have less racism than a random sample, but I'm not convinced that's true. Places focused on intellectual enlightenment have the least racism, I am convinced that's true.

My trade school was saturated with 'equality' policies, special clubs for various minorities, etc, which are all behaviors based on race, and therefore are racism, so I can't agree.

I reference places of spirituality because they tend to disregard race as a topic to think about as a byproduct of focusing on the mind and spirit rather than humanist points of view.

In order to be 'inclusive' or 'pluralistic' of 'diverse', you first have to identify how someone is different from you, and that's the problem. We should instead focus on how we are alike, not different. The very term "racial equality" is racist because it focuses on race and is racially motivated.

I have nothing against a person getting an education. It's a good idea, particularly if a job marketable education, wouldn't you say so?

...and, you know this how? are you a member of a minority that generally claims its being discriminated against such that you have an informed opinion on this? Do you have some type of socio-scientific study to back your claim? Or, are you just just this guy?

I just love people who express their expert opinions about things for which they have no expertise.... I hope you realize that is what gives rise to racism or bigotry: believing things about another people to be true, while having no informed basis for that belief and dismissing the informed opinions/experiences of those the feel discriminated against because those experiences don't fit with your uninformed opinions.

I presume everyone sees the gross stupidity of that position.

You can't troll a troll.

I'm trying to have a decent conversation here. Please stop encouraging me to return to my trollish ways.

I don't give a **** what you do. Your position is idiotic. Minority clubs are not racist.
 

Racism still exists everywhere on the planet. It always will at some level. However in the US it certainly does not exist at a level anywhere close to it did during the segregation era. Anyone who suggests otherwise is either kidding themselves or are being purposely dishonest.
 
Of course, racism exists - bigots and morons exist everywhere. Laws alone cannot ever stop crime - they can only define it for later enforcement of those laws.

Actually racism in the US is a generational thing. For the most part it vastly decreases from one generation to the next. I live in the deep south and know what it was like in the segregation era compared to what it is like now. Most of the remaining bigots are a minority of old farts who just will not change their views.

Clubs that give special treatment to a race, are racist. That's just the way it is.
 
Racism exists, and governmental financial policy helps keep it active. Most of the inner cities are under horrible economic attack and what has happened is it's become an unintentional systematic racism. Too much of a welfare state lowers the actual drive to progress in the market. The drug war is economically destroying the actual ability of drug users to grow out of their habit, as well as creating black market crime. Due to that black market crime, a lot of businesses wont open up shop in the inner city making it harder for people in the inner city to have any actual economic stability.

I believe there is systematic racism, however i think it's an Unintentional outcome of the welfare state, war on drugs, etc etc. the worse thing as a nation would be to blame white people for it rather then understanding too much government does this

I agree in regards to the unintentional outcome of the welfare state, which keeps so many minorities trapped in institutional poverty. It also does not help that race baiters like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton make a comfortable living stoking the fires of what racism still exists.

That's not the way it is, that's your whackjob BS position. Try that racist garbage irl and see how many rooms you get laughed out of.

"Try" in what context? You imagine me entering "rooms" (where, what are the rooms of/for. what building?). How would I "try" this? As in literally what do you see me doing in "trying" this?

I only belonged to trade clubs and we didn't give a **** about anyone's race one way or another. IMO unless the school is a race school it shouldn't have race-based clubs. I attended a vocational school and so I only participated in vocational clubs.

racism on the front does exist, but true racism in regards to the superiority complex of post racial and segregated america has come a long way and is almost non-existent. This type of racism is still around other parts of the world especially NK and Middle East, but not in America. I think a lot of people confused prejudice and stereotyping with racism.

Racism still exists everywhere. It's in damn near everyone. It's the expression of racism that's the problem.
