I think Newt would have been one of the best to take on Barry, when it comes to a tete-a-tete adversarial debates.

This is how these people are used to getting what they want- by organizing into the biggest group they can and stomping their feet and intimidating the other side until they just buckle.

Comment on Our “Racist” Society- Obama’s Election Proves a Point by Neil Keidel

I have to agree with you Erica. Racism is not gone from this country. I have to say it is not always white against blacks or other minorities. I have seen it go both ways. But for the most part you do see whites being racist. What bothers me is that even though Obama was elected you see right-winged assholes showing their racism in different ways. They try to find ways of discredit him i.e. the birthers and tea partiers. You can see it in how republicans are trying to shoot his policies down left and right. They do this because they are pissed a black man was elected. So, instead of putting the fact that we have a black president behind them and work together to fix this nation. This disgusts me. You know why he was elected? Because of the young vote and that more minorities voted in that election than any previous. Other food for thought is that most people who voted against him, voted against him because of his color. We as a nation need to just move on from racism.
One thing that I have noticed is that alot blacks have become racist towards whites. This comes from the older blacks blaming whites for their current state in society. Which was true for older generations. However, the younger black generations have the same oppertunities as younger white generations. Young blacks have every chance to move up in class we don’t hold them back they hold themselves back. With theories that the can only make it as an athlete, muscian, or some other form of fame. They also have a mindset that they can’t get successful jobs, so they sell drugs to their own community, or form gangs to make money. They need to stop blaming whites for their situation and start looking at themselves. They need to start lifting their society up instead of keeping it down. Now don’t get me wrong there are differences in the types of education different classes get, which is the governments fault. But it can be fixed.
So, yes there still is racism in America, but in my mind it will decline as older generations die off. And the younger generations learn that their parents were full of shit and look at each other as equals.
For the record I’m 28 yr old white male who comes from a middle class family, but my family taught me acceptance towards everyone.

While I appreciate your acknowledgement that their are most certainly racists among us, I disagree with your main argument. Our society is still very much struggling with race relations in this generation. One text I highly recommend to anyone is:

The Myth of Post-Racial America by Dr. H. Roy Kaplan

and for those who are not avid readers, and would like to further their knowledge on structural racism (among many other forms of racism and discrimination) I recommend watching any of Tim Wise’s videos on white privilege or institutional racism, etc. You can easily find these on youtube. He is a wonderful public speaker.

The perpetuation of the horrible events that took place before(and much after) Jim Crow laws were halted and the slow process of integration was put in place- this is not the obstacle that our society is facing today. Also, there are very important reasons for civil rights activists to tell their stories and educate as many young people as possible on the tragedies of such an unfounded form of hatred that discrimination embodies.

The obstacles that our society is presented with today, are of more silent forms of discrimination. Just because our laws are reformed does NOT mean that we, as a society, have been.

I feel qualified to comment on this for several reasons; I took several classes on racism and discrimination in college, I am also teaching a workshop on promoting equality for high school students, some of whom have already formed biases, taught by influences of their families or peers.

As for the “(and I am talking about some blacks)” comment, I will also mention that I am a white female- and I know that we are not a post-racial society.
