Are we really not a racist society? Or are we faking it?

Many claim to not be racist, but in their speech and lifestyle it is very evident that the majority of Americans ARE racist. People can claim all they want that they are not racist, but likely on some level they are.

True Racism:

-- Posted By xoandre on August 10, 2008

Racism comes in many forms.

True racism is a combination of stereotypical prejudice and denial of truth through capitalization on those prejudices.

Example: Native Americans.

It is very natural for human beings to put things into categories, and to be afraid of what is unfamiliar. When thes e natural tendancies are combined with the presence of different sorts of people, it is to be expected that racism will occur. .

Given the amount of ignorance in the United States, we can not help but be racist in our attitudes. Many of us are rarely exposed to differences, and are therefore incapable of acceptance or integration of new ideas and people.

When you start grouping people in your mind as having a certain undesirable characteristic THAT is racism. All Black are criminals, all Latinos are baby factory freaks, etc. The words n%$&%r, c@^#k, and w*#*@%k are all examples of the unrestrained .

American did away with racism a long time ago.

the most racist people are people of color. Look a Obama and his media collaborators for example, they are the ones who warned us of racism while they were the only ones pushing the issue?
