Lol. My gay one is also the one who used to drink too much. He's been sober for a couple years. Good for him, because he was a hot ghetto mess, as they used to say.

Racism exists today but it is tiny and nearly invisible compared to the old days.

Anyone screaming racism today should try living in 1923 Georgia for a few months (if that were possible).

...what they used to call "reverse racism" on the other hand, though...

My dad was always going out of his way to help minorities. I guess 'positive discrimination' is a kind of racism. He still seemed to think it was still the 60s and kinda had that hippy outlook, and blacks especially were some kind of downtrodden minority (even though in the 80s/90s his boss was black)

Unfortunately, I live in Philadelphia, so I am surrounded by White trash and ghetto Blacks on a daily basis.
Diversity does tend to run a neighborhood down. Look at Juniata, Oxford Circle, Tacony, and any number of Philly neighborhoods that "turned" over the last two decades.

To the OP...All families have a few bigoted idiots. I have a few, but they're polite enough to keep their mouths shut. That's all i care about.
You're living the dream.

lol.

I don't suppose it ever occurred to you that they hate him because he's a moronic idiot rather than because he's half black.

Then i am proud to say hell no, what does being racist get for you anyway, except hate from the soul, for what purpose.

I can honestly say, no we do not, on both sides, husband which there is some bi-racial, and on my side, maybe that is why we are tolerant which each other, and caring of each other.

I have realitives and friends who cannot stomach Obama, not because of his color either, him as a bigoted person, a liar, and someone who is going to wrech havoc on a collapsing economy.

We are also accepting of gays, imagine that, and i am republician, can never put everyone into the same bolt.

But when i am out, you can plainly see those who are non tolerant of the opposite race, plain as day.

It's absolutely sickening.

My grandpop was from North Philly (when it was Irish) and my grandmom from SW Philly (when it was Italian). I couldn't walk those streets today. Same goes for the town I grew up in, section 8 and de industrialization turned it into a gang infested hellhole.

It is much easier to just move to an expensive suburb, where the residents are homogenous and culturally similar.

Preferring to live in low-crime white neighborhoods with safe, high-performing schools is now "racist". I am a racist in contemporary terms, but commit no acts of violence against "minorities" and work 40 hours a week and relax in my "whitopia". Meanwhile, non-racists in our big cities murder, rob, and rape every day, yet the liberal media tells the people "racists" are a danger to society.

Thankfully, most of the gun owners in this country are racist and loyal to their European heritage. They need these guns to protect themselves from the "non-racist" hordes that will be looking for plunder to loot when the SNAP cards aren't magically refilled one month, as our national debt continues its rapid ascent.
