That is obviously a terrible thing but living in the US we are actually very lucky in many regards. We have gotten to a point where racism is discussed and criticized and thank God it is going the way of the dinosaur. In many other countries though it is just accepted as part of life and no one bats an eye. Entire populations of people are being whipped out in Sudan because of their race.

Yes, racism still exists but on a much smaller scale and it is not popularly accepted like it has been in the past. You only have to look at the past 150 or so years since the Civil War to see this. First with the Emancipation Proclamation, then with the Civil Rights movement and now with Obama being elected. Children are growing up to view races as equal rather than growing up with slaves or with blacks sitting at the back of the bus. Also, speaking in evolutionary terms, interbreeding is becoming more and more widespread and separate races as a whole are disappearing. The percentage of people that are mixed race is growing exponentially. Racism is disappearing in this country slowly but surely. Will it ever be gone completely? Not likely as long as there is more than one race.Originally posted by blunt View PostLast edited by Guest; 12-11-2008, 09:34 PM.Comment

Camaro is probably the most stereotypical white/redneck car ever.Comment

older clean cut white guy with a baseball cap on; he was driving a little Mazda convertible...
So that pretty much crushes you guys' sterotypes. Racists come in all shapes, colors, and sizes.

I disagree. White kids are growing up thinking blacks are special and can't say shit to them without someone saying they are racist. In the mean time blacks get away with calling whites "whitey" and "cracker" all the time. And get away with it.Originally posted by h0lmes View Post
Racism has only changed, not gotten smaller.
A black man gets a job because of the color of his skin much of the time, not by his qualifications.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

For some reason this reminds me of the time I was following an old suburban doing 45, tried to pass him twice, both times he sped up to 90 so I couldn't pass
then in the next town he gets out to yell at me for placing his kids in danger 
This place is like catholic school, 2/3 of the students smoke weed on a daily basis, but the faculty seems to convince the outside world that drugs are just in the other schools, the resident pot dealer thinks he's cool because he has the originality to call anyone he doesn't like a homosexual, and most of the little children follow him like sheep, then there's the few with brains, you hardly ever hear from them, perhaps don't even know they exist, but they get all the sh!t done.Comment

I'm gonna have to go with an F-150, or any American truck really. Maybe a Suburban.Originally posted by Raxe View PostsigpicComment
