How you concluded "I don't think so in 8 generations" to = "no chance ever" I will never know.

He basically said that he didn't think America would be here in 8 generations. Then, he went on to say
[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]but as concerning the future of the U.S...racism will always be prevalent.[/color]
Unless he's referring to the US and America being two seperate entities then I don't understand the confusion.

And then clearly stated his opinion below that. Unless you only just wanted to read which part you wanted to read. Which is cool too. Just saying.

He contradicts himself a bit, don't you think? He goes from saying it will always be prevalent to it being correctable? (I think, again, I'm waiting for a clarification on that last bit.)

To think that racism will ever be nonexistent is naive.

... Same ##%%, different toilet.
One thing that has not changed in history of man is Rich vs Poor. Get used to it.. All this talk about equality and no racism and same this same that..is bull. Whoever told you life will be fair, lied to you.
We all come from different backgrounds. Our ancestors fought wars to pass down these genes. Help yourself and your family, put in that hard work so your kids can prosper and live well.

Where did I state that "there is no chance of a day where there will be no racism?"
But as for what your arguing I should add that as along as America stands as a capitalist/conversationalist nation
then yes racism will have a place hold.
How could you not perceive the notion of a US cleansing after finishing the paragraph?
See off the bat I don't you and I have the same definition of racism....
To most racism is defined as any discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of another race.
Tome racism is defined as a systematic denigration and destruction of apeople through economics, politcs, and the social arena.
This country as a whole has to be broken and rebuilt for racism to go away...
for racism is the premises this country was built upon.
I don't think some people realize how far America is from magically waking up "overtime"....

8 generations from now? This will be no different. They'll find ways to classify us, and we'll be in the same spot as we are now only fighting over different lables.
Whats the difference between 8 generations and 25 generations if " they'll find ways to classify us..." ?

Well as I stated, they won't be classifying us racially, but only by some other construct. Unless we make the change, those in power will continue to divide us so they can stay in power while we are busy hating one another. Divide and conquer is as old a tactic as any and it clearly works. WE will think differently in the sense we won't be categorizing each other racially. Its up to us to really break out of this cycle so that we can actually do something about this system.
