In the US today, is racism still the problem or is it rather culturism?

Well, yes, some morons said that racism no longer exists because a Black man was elected president. No one who has any brain at all mindlessly believes everything morons say.

Of COURSE there's still racism in the US. Blacks and Hispanics, but not others, are constantly harassed and treated as criminals by police; institutions still discriminate (investment firms taking Black's clients away, giving them to Whites, and shunting the Blacks into low-paying positions -- that's just ONE recent example; banks making loans with the worst terms ONLY to Blacks regardless of how identical their finances are to others).

You are under the delusion that Blacks and Hispanics in SUITS don't routinely get treated as criminals by cops; or are otherwise discriminated against. You are completely wrong.

The fact that many people discriminate based on accent is idiotic. Saying that it happens doesn't make it LESS so. Everyone learned to talk exactly the same way -- by picking up how everyone around them talks when they were young and learning language.

I'm not discouraging people pointing out that only morons judge people based on their speech and clothes, just that that is NOT all that's going on.

???? Really? Yes, when people become super-powerful, everyone recognizes them, and they're in a bubble of secret service guards, then they don't get pulled over by cops, or generally treated like sh*t. That doesn't mean that that applies to EVERY Black or Hispanic in a suit.

The fact that screaming about segregation isn't considered socially acceptable doesn't mean racism is dead and gone.

It's funny how those same people don't think it's legitimate for anyone to tell THEM how to dress or what to listen to for entertainment. The fact that morons say moronic stuff doesn't mean that what they say is RIGHT.

You don't get around much, do you? Systemic, institutionalized racism is alive and well. And yes, it I all about skin color. The President is a perfect example. Look at many of the posters here. There is a universal hatred and disrespect, and given that he has done NOTHING that many other Presidents have done before, it must be concluded that it is specifically about the man, not the office. There is only 1 thing different about the man--the color of his skin.

The unprecedented loathing, even before he took power, was directed toward his "otherness". He was asked for his papers. both for citizenship and education. He was called a liar on the Congressional floor. He and his family are likened to gorillas, chimpanzees and monkeys. He is called "Obongo", "Presadunce" and a host of other personal attacks.

The only change is that it has become slimier, more virulent and it disguises itself rather than declaring its "legitimacy" based on the "superiority" of whites.

I guess you missed the millions of times that black men like Obama, Colin Powell, Jay Z, Morgan Freeman, Forest Whitaker, John Lewis, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Kobe Bryant and many, many others have described their experiences with being discriminated against.

The ones with the power to help further the cause doing nothing with that power is the problem, and that includes everyone who has the means regardless of race

Still racism

proven by two words "Yahoo answers."

What makes it racism is the fact that you have elaborate theories about "good" blacks and bad "blacks," but have none of these same theories about "good" whites and "bad" whites, culturally. Instead you spend your time ranting about black people and what you like to call black culture..

Reverse Racism is the problem today, blacks and Hispanics have gained equality and now they are trying to gain superiority over the people who built this Great Nation for them to come along and destroy.

Depends on if you ask smart people or the retards that vote for the Democrats.

Here are some statistics about the color of crime in America. It's difficult to argue with numbers.

Blacks seem to be the most racist.

Jackson, Sharpton and all the other "race baiters" are the problem...
