I grew up with it. I've lived with it my whole life. I really don't care what others may or may not think. I've become immune.

I can tell. You've become immune to a lot of things. Fortunately, I'm sure, a generation or two down the road will look at this issue like I see this today (http://www.yourfunnystuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/race-mixing-is-communism.jpg - broken link).

I think it's just not as well hidden as it's been for a while.

What are the causes of this growing trend? Do you think racism and stereotypes are a genetic trait?
The media is the one stirring the pot and telling us all that there are increasing racial problems. Good for ratings.

I answered no for the simple fact that racisism has never left us and continues to be regenerated in each new generation because racists breed and pass their hate and stupidity on to their children. I will say if anything it is actually decreasing, since more and more children have the abilty to verify if what their parents said was true or not and some are finding the truth. A series of cases occuring over a short time does not equate to a rise is racisism, never forget we have had riots and lynchings in the past that make todays intances pail in comparrison, it is just that we get instant news these days and tend to make too much of it.

No.

I think the race BAITERS are on the rise again! Starting with the President!

His sin is omission!! Not Saying anything to those in his party....not telling them to stop the crap! He let's it hang out there and fester! He uses it. He stays clean and keeps his voters. But he divides and conquers all the same.
