"N" word is sprayed in womens home....

Even when those generations pass don\'t expect much, if any, change.

I expect much more than what we have now. Those are the driving force keeping that BS alive IMO.

I could see racism keeping alive even after that generation dies off. i mean..if kids are in a city/neighborhood/whatever where there aren\'t black people, than theyre going to take their racist parents and grandparents point of views because they have nothing to disprove their views with.

not to mention almost all inner city schools are 99% black and hispanic, and broken down piece of crap buildings..we have a decent ways to go with social equaltiy. the problem i see is that we\'ve come at a stand-still. how do you correct all those broken down schools that are only filled with minorities? Just seemed like we were able to progress through the 60\'s and 70\'s by giving more rights to minorities, but now that they have the rights, it gets a lot more difficult to fix those problems

edit: that didn\'t come out the way i was hoping. basically, we saw huge progressions in society in the 60\'s because they didnt have the right to drink from things so basic as drinking the same water fountain as white people..now it\'s a lot more complex

racism still exists, and won\'t completely die off.  But, racism has gone down greatly compare to decades ago.  I think we can expect to see the same trends to follow in the later generation as the amount of racist people getting lesser and lesser as later generation are more open minded and tolerance of other.

I couldn\'t agree more....the very fact that america is so fascinated with the possibly of havin\' the first afri. american or first female president,...when other countries across the world have already had either a woman or an african american as president, just shows that the american mindset and culture is still a bit behind the times.

And while i do agree that when that certain generation of ignorant white folk dies off, that race relations will improve a bit, i don\'t think it will be that much of an impact due to vipers explanation of ignorant parents passin\' that crap on to their kids...i do feel that in general that this younger generation is waay more tolerable of race relations than what was seen in the past...

[Paul2]

nowadays, we are more likely to see a person getting into conflict with another person in the same race than different race.  that just prove that racism has gone down greatly compare to the 60 - 70s and earlier.

and also, even if a person of this race is in conflict with another person of a different race, it\'s more likely about something than it\'s about race.

Haha are you so scared of the saying BLACKS that you explain one in another country as still being african american....lol...j/k

Also, it\'s not just white parents passing that on and it\'s not excusable cause of the past on either side.

I think African-Americans in our culture are synonymous with blacks. I\'ve done it before when talking about blacks in other countries without thinking.

...i guess i\'m so use to sayin\' that word, that i forget it doesn\'t apply to other blacks across the globe......and tru enough white parents aren\'t the only ones passin\' that stuff down to their kids, but in my experience at least it seemed like the racism stemmed more from white folk than it was black folk...with blacks it was more like...."you better watch out for those white folk" it was more on the side of caution rather than just all out hatred,...

It also seemed like blacks just wanted to be accepted and or just wanted to be on equal grounds with white folk rather than being seen as 3rd class citizens....i might catch a little heat for that remark but i know two wrongs don\'t make a right, but it just seem like more of the hatred came from the white side of the fence rather than the black side of it...even today when you here of those racial scenarios, 95% of the time it\'s white folks doing something against blacks....

[Paul2]

95%?  I wouldn\'t believe it was that high, especially nowadays.  definitely back in the day, yes.  but not nowadays.

[clips]

Well maybe it\'s not that high, but the point i was trying to make is that, if there\'s an incident where black folks are doin\' something harmful to white folk, the majority of the time it\'s not racial,...they may be robbin\' them, but it\'s not a racial thing.....whereas if white folks are doin\' somethin\' to black folks the majority of the time it\'s racial,...again two wrongs don\'t make either scenario right, i was just sayin\' from a racial discriminatory standpoint, white folks are mostly the perps...

I think the media just sensationalizes white on black than black on white. I would say that there are more white on black hate crimes but I would also say there is a lot of black on white hate crime as well.

Not to sound like a dick, but black people can always holler racism when a white person does something to them, and whites have to prove otherwise...


case in point: My boss\'s daughter is in college, and last semester the teacher caught a black girl cheating red-handed right in class. The girl flipped shit and raised a rukkus and immediately started screaming racism. Then she had to be removed by security, because she assaulted the teacher. The girl has filed a lawsuit alleging racism. Now the teacher has to go to court and defend herself. The girl\'s case is basically that the teacher was unfairly targeting her because she is black.  

Whatever..I\'m buying a cabin in the wilderness and homeschooling my daughter.... I\'ll tell her "you better watch out for them black folks...."

[Paul2]

I had encounter racism from an individual teacher, and it\'s totally different than your story.
