Is racism still prelevant?

You know what's funny, all of my friends continually make racist jokes, FOR COMEDY, who here thinks that racism I mostly dead and people need to stop vein sensitive wimps, and learn to laugh, also is it fair that racism is one sided? I can explain that later I necessary. So I'm hoping in the next 10 years all real concept of race will be gone

There will always be racism on some level.

To compare, racism being gone is like saying there is no difference between men and women.

There will ALWAYS be differences and disputes over aforementioned differences, so racism will always exist on some level.

Another tiny rant....my brain wont brain correctly today.

I know more than a few people who still think themselves better than other people, either through different race or gender or social standing. It's my opinion people will always find a reason to think themselves better than others, it's an ageless act.

The only race I hate, is the one where I have to run.

People don't even know what racism is anymore. If I say nigger I'm racist but if a black person says cracker it's a joke. If I tell off a white person then that's my opinion but if I tell off a black person I'm racist? Geez.

Racism still exists, people will always have a reason to hate others and on top of this people tend to play the racism card when it benefits them, if a white person kills any other race it's a hate crime, if a black kills someone it's drugs or gangs, if an Arab kills its terrorism, the list goes on, but essentially it all comes down to social benefits now.

I am actually.

basically white eqivalent of "nigger", but used jokingly more often than seriously nowadays, and likewise with nigger

Racism obviously still exists, but it is no longer prevelant in America. Now everyone is concerned with discriminating against other people for any reason. The color of ones skin is not a basis for discrimination, ones behavior, conduct, and past actions are, I believe.

People don't even know what racism is anymore. If I say nigger I'm racist but if a black person says cracker it's a joke. If I tell off a white person then that's my opinion but if I tell off a black person I'm racist? Geez.

Preach.  PREACH.  PREACH!!!!!!!!

living in the south, brotha. You gotta know how to preach it.

Yup, gotta love us southern people

You must admit that there is a social difference between "niggah" and "nigger".

Tone does matter, but it is more used in a joking sense than in an aggressive one.

The only way to stop racism is to stop talking about it.

I think there will always be racism, however we are not the racist country we were 60 years ago.  People need to stop bing so concerned with racism.  In fact they are so concerned about being discriminated against, that they are reverse discriminating against the whites.  Here is an example, i can't remember it very good, so I apologize, but there is a scholarship for only blacks to help them go to college because in some places, less blacks go to college than whites.  Seriously?  There are a bunch of white kids that can't afford to go to college and they get turned away from easy money just because of their race.  All you have to do to get that scholarship is be below a certain income bracket, and be black.  That is reverse discrimination.  If they would tone it down and not be so concerned about being discriminated against, those types of things wouldn't happen.

I do not subscribe to the theory that what you described is reverse discrimination of whites. It is discrimination of all non-blacks. There are other non-blacks, such as yellows and browns and reds and ... you get the idea. The very same idea that coloured are not whites. Not sure if Pantone would agree with this one.
