It's the fault of the politicians and people profiting off of race. The Jesse Jacksons of the world is why there is still and always will be racism.

It’s difficult to fathom that many minority groups have fought so hard against racism, only to become the most racist people in the country.

I agree with you.

Really? Politicians can be faulted for a lot of things but they did not create racism out of thin air even if they aren't helping. Notice all the politicians capitalizing on people's fear of pickles. That's right, none because that issue doesn't exist.

It is not so much about race as it is about socio economic status and upbringing. I am white, and if my daughter wanted to marry a black heart surgeon, I'd be fine with it. If she brought home a black junkie from the ghetto, then not so much.
Really, if any other than white person, even a poor one, wanted to marry my daughter and he was from a solid, hard working two parent family with similar values, we'd be fine with it too.
