Yes it still exists today. We have made tremendous progress on race relations. I remember going to an all white school, I remember the first year blacks and whites went to school together. I remember the MLK marches. I for one never want to live in a world filled with that much hate, ever again.

From the early 1960s to 2015 it is a difference of night and day but yes their is a small percent of our citizens that still hate other races.

I sincerely believe when our children today are grown and have children of their own, race will no longer be an issue in our nation. It would not be as bad as it is taday if we did not have people like Al Sharpton in the world. Jmo.

Yep.... It will be awhile but eventually it will just be a mixed race.

The reason racism exists is ignorance and hate, one group thinking they are above another group. We are all God's children, many do not seem to realize that.

Not true. Sometimes a group of people can really disprove that ignorance/hate thing. Come to Orlando!

Yeah its retarded. I love how these idiots jump on the bandwagon to remove a piece of fabric as if that's going to solve all the problems they've created in their own culture.

I wonder how many are going to go to Gettysburg and desecrate all the confederate monuments and graves there..

White Privilege is the brain child of the Communists to further divide Americans by race and class.

There was a time in America when Communism and Communists were detested by Americans, but not anymore.

Some of you make a compelling argument. I'm starting to have regular guilt for not having white guilt. Excuse me, Euro-American guilt, I might as well be as exact as possible if I'm going to take responsibility for the actions of people I've never met.

My Scottish-Scottish-Irish-Czech guilt is crippling.

I'm Irish (dads side), mostly Indian (like wahoo McDaniel moms side). I'm confused if I should feel guilty (Irish part), or mad at the whitey (Indian part)! Maybe I'll split and feel bad one day, then mad the next.

I earned it in a way that very few people who aren't Latinos do anymore...by being the first one on the job and the last to leave..and busting my ass every minute in between. I can do every single trade involved in building houses or apartments other than HVAC. I can perform these tasks in a manner to where I will not fail a single item on inspection because I know all relevant codes in the IBC. Pertaining to my work. When I was only 19 years old I went to comm. College and completed courses on residential blueprint reading and estimating as well as contractors exam review. If 90% of the world wants my job then they can put in a couple decades worth of backbreaking work and probably achieve it. FWIW my kid brother graduated from NC STATE with an engineering degree and made as much money his first year out of school as I have ever made in a year.

Edit: you see the joke right? Us 53% that work...Some 60 hours a week on salary like me...Support the 47% who sit on the couch smoking blunts and playing on their PS4S...and still have 90% of the luxuries that I do. The ones that bother to sell a Lil dope also probably enjoy a higher standard of living than I do ..and pay no taxes. So the joke is on me...and nd those like me..because we have enough pride and self worth to not take a hand out ...and the morals to not sell dope ...we foot the bill for the worthless leeches in every trailer park and project across this country. Absolutely ridiculous. It makes me sick.

Marcus, I have been reading your post for a few years and I sincerely believe this world would be a better place with more Marcus's in it. I think you are a good hard working family man that does all he can to provide his family with the best life he can. I admire you for that.

That was an excellent post until you got to that edit part at the bottom.
It has been proved over and over that Romney's 47% comment is garbage. From reading about your work history, odds are you were part of his 47% when you were younger and working hard every day. If you are lucky, you will be part of Romney's 47% when you retire.
Many of the people included in his 47% are families that work everyday but with the tax credits/deductions they receive they actually pay no income tax, yet they pay payroll tax, sales tax, property tax, gas tax etc.

Seniors that have worked for 45-50 years that retired were included in his 47%/

Military members that were stationed in a combat zone are included in his 47%.

Romney was correct that 47% of people did not pay income tax in 2011 yet they include many hard working people, retirees, and our brave members of our military that were stationed in a war zone. To include these people as if they are low life trash was wrong of Romney and is wrong for people to continue to cite. The breakdown of that 47% is very easy to locate

What continues to baffle me is the number of posts complaining about media propaganda that then base their argument on more media propaganda.

Step away from the main stream media sometimes.

And yes. FOX NEWS is also main stream media. They all are designed to push THEIR agenda, not yours. Combined, they keep us divided.

I don't know, but whatever you do don't drink alcohol.

I see this stuff on Facebook. They'll complain about one side of the media, and post quotes from the other side of the media.
