But the reason I don't agree with it is because to me it seems like each generation becomes more and more tolerant. The reasons have been stated a million
times in this thread, more interracial relationships, about to have a black President, etc. etc.
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 action which 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
