tell me this...why is it easier to get into a college if you are black? Why is it easier to get a scholarship to play sports in college if you are a girl? Why is it that if there is a black and a white person who are equally qualified for a job the black person will get it 90% of the time?? Answer me those questions and you will have your answer.
None of these things are true
The responses on this thread, ironically, are great examples of why racism still exists. Simply, privileged white men have no idea what it is like to grow up as a member of a minority but are thrilled to pass offhanded judgments.
Because white men can't get over the fact they have tiny dicks and are insecure.

Hey moron. The Republicans won that war. (The Replubicans who were founded in 1854 to abolish slavery.... and don't say the parties switched because they would have been voted out on their belief system. Nice when Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton Obama says it but when you think about it you realize you are still a slave.) It's been the Democrats who have been holding the black man down for years. Sure, the Democrats speak out in public but keep the blacks on the plantation with their welfare programs.Obama was the perfect candidate because he was half and bought into the whole socialist agenda (image that he, a half breed was the perfect candidate to be aborted) but he figured out to play the game. AND he's got no slave blood in him.

Racism has been with us from the beginning of society and will be with us until the end of society.

The underlying conflict of the war was/is about the implications of democracy:
Does the "right to the pursuit of happiness" include unlimited consumption?
Of land, air, water, money, even people?
Today's republicans are still fighting that war.
Racism is just one aspect of it, along with being opposed to
healthcare, education, and unions.
If you believe in unlimited consumption then all is fair game.
You will dehumanize whatever stratum of society you can,
in order to consume their labor.
You.........are a fool!!! Or an idiot!

So true.
Differences in intelligence.
These differences have existed since the dawn of recorded history, and will exist forever.
Unless blacks suddenly get more intelligent, and asians suddenly get less intelligent, racism will always be with us.
Racism continues to this day because both blacks in general and the Democratic party gain from racism being kept alive. Sorry but all you posters got it wrong. You fell into a designed liberal trap to assume everything racist starts with white people. It's been quite the opposite for decades now. But I wouldn't use a word like 'rampant' to describe it.
Simple answer? The Civil War was not about racism. It was about slavery, state's rights, and regional differences. The issue of racism never was overly addressed until the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950's and 60's.
So, basically it's only been 50 years. And, it takes time for racists and bigots to die off. Plus, people are naturally biased anyway.

Like the Republican Party gains from waste in government being kept alive?
The Brojos.
At least the author who wrote these lies got the sack, so we are fighting back.

Everybody is a little bit racist. Nobody wants their daughter marrying outside of their race.
Because the leftist mentality keeps racism alive by establishing policies based on the concept of "group rights" that sacrifice the interests of members of one group for the supposed benefit of members of other groups, causing people to organize along racial lines. It has utterly nothing to do with white privilege and everything to with liberals destroying the world with their intellectual diarrhea (Marxism) in our universities.
Because anonymous postings on the internet has revived racism.
It it is 147 years ago. Racism in American is fading rapidly. It is only few that try to stir the pot and makes things seem a lot worse than they really are.
"Racism" is just a subset of social sensitivities that are a basic part of human nature.
Human beings are highly sensitive to tiny social cues of the social position of other people which people try to read based on all sorts of clues like sex, age, clothing, wealth, use of language, cultural or geographical origin, skin color and so on. Most of these distinctions are not rational to begin with and you can't stop people from making social distinctions just by pointing out that they are irrational.
Already in this thread, people have given enough social clues about themselves to cause other people in the thread to hate them for belonging to what they perceive as a different social group.
You can make discrimination based on race illegal and create social taboos against treating people different based on their race but turning off the underlying social perception is an uphill struggle against human nature.
