I think what OP meant was that racism has evolved...
Its taken on a new face...Its more subconscience, its not as blatant as it used to be. Racism has become subtle.
The country may be a bit less volitile, seemingly....

I still think the most racist people I know are old white and black men and woman. I understand black people feel like its all toward them but it goes bothways alot of times. I live in a all black neighborhood and hang out with all black people, only white person for a few blocks. I get just as much racism as ablack person in a white neighborhood. If racism is ever gunna stop its gunna have to come from both sides and im doin my part wish everyone else would 2.

stop putting words in my damn mouth.....i said i have trouble trusting some...especially ones in higher positions....like the %!+% Bush did tothose in New Orleans is an example....
i highly doubt that cause i know plenty of whites who lived in blk communities and they were embraced.....

Racism has not CHANGED, it has transformed, meaning it has altered to a more politically correct nature.
Racism is still racism, and what the OP stated was that since the civil rights movement nothing regarding race has changed. Unless you count affirmative actionwhich is a whole other topic.
Racism is just as prevalent as ever. The fact that we are about to elect a half white president, has nothing to do with the fact of racism in the country.
When Barack gets elected what will it do for me as a black man?
Nothing, as an american- Everything

Honestly, at the end of the day, whites are no more racist than any other racial group. Give it a rest. If you want to discuss racism, discuss it from allangles. This is not by any means an issue that lies solely in the white community.

I think somebody stated a while back but.
An experiment that led to Brown v Board
A black girl was asked to choose between a black doll, and a white doll on which was more pretty
She chose the white doll
A couple months back the same experiment same results.
HOw do you defend that?

kix4kix..
Nothing to defend, just shows that not much has changed....
Just shows that society has become more subtle about programming us to think a certain way.

Whites are the majority in this country, attractive white women and men are held as the aestheic ideals in our culture. Go to some cultures and fat people areviewed as beautiful, or people with pale skin, or any number of other criteria. If blacks had made up the majority of America's population I'm sure theinverse would be true. What kind of point are you trying to make? Edit: Not to sound like I'm attacking you, I'm just wondering....regardless of thestrong racism in the not-so-distant past that probably contributed somewhat, psychological studies have shown that we are sexually attracted to what we grow uparound/what other around us are attracted to. If you grow up in America around mostly white people, you're white yourself, etc., then chances arethat's what you'll find to be the most attractive. I'm tired right now and not very eloquent, and I understand that this doesn't explain theentire phenomenon, especially when you begin to discuss how whites are viewed as more attractive even in cultures where whites are a very tiny minority (someAsian countries, etc.), but it does explain a lot.

Native Americans welcomed whites....
Africans welcomed whites....
Native Australians welcomed whites....
Asians welcomed whites.....
How did that turn out for those groups?
And how are they equally racist..when they never identifiedi with the concept of race.
Playing the blame game is pointless....but cut out the revisionist history.

My point is that a study which BRown V board was founded on was tried 50 years later and yielded the same results.
We are more separated than ever before in regards to subersive racism as Kix, and some other cats have stated

There was no such thing as a racial classifiation system up until about 350 years ago.
The concept of race is only about 400 years old. It was developed during the 17th century as a tool of European global conquest.
Africans...were never "blacks" or "africoid" before European invasion....the concept of race is purely European and purely BS.

Okay, first of all....
Every group you have stated, devised its own divisions long before whites showed up.
Race is simply a CONCEPT that HUMANS created to categorize perceived biological, social and cultural differences between human groups.
