Racism is not dead!

I find it odd that their are some people who aren't offended by racism. Even through history , many they have witnessed years of oppression and segregations. An their answers are always the same, that was in the past so get over it...Their thoughts are they did not do it, so why blame them? These action have created fear and resentment in many races.

This political race as shown the true colors of racism, many whites have openly said that they can not or will not vote for a black man. What makes matters worse is that you have some blacks people who say the exact same thing, and they think its okay! The thought of a black man becoming president has created a fear within some. That fear is turning to hatred and some don't mind showing their inner feelings of who they are!

Why if you are black and express a issue about a coment or concern that you are playing the race card? To hear conservative american speak, in their mind racism does not exist...

I beg to differ! Not to long ago many people were getting Lynched. Mississippi is not the only state burning, now its the hatred in many hearts and if they thought that they could get away with it, the unthinkable would now be told.

This story tells of a man who shot three times in a London street for wearing a Barack Obama T-shirt. Dube Egwuatu was buying a mobile telephone top-up card in an off-licence when the gunman confronted him and glared at the top, which carries an image of the Democrat US presidential candidate underneath the legend 'Believe'.
The man then launched into a tirade of racist slurs, shouting 'I f***ing hate n*****s' and urging 36-year-old Mr Egwuatu to leave the shop with him.

Respect: Dube Egwuatu wearing the Obama T-shirt that provoked a racist attack
The man then left the shop but when Mr Egwuatu re-emerged, the attacker was waiting for him in broad daylight with a threatening-looking dog and holding a gun behind his back.
Realising what had sparked the increasingly violent assault, the terrified Mr Egwuatu zipped up his jacket to cover the image of Mr Obama and walked to his car.
But the shaven-headed man, who was white, followed Mr Egwuatu and after pulling open the passenger door pointed the gun at him.
After pleading with the man to leave him alone, the married former street warden put the keys in the ignition and turned the engine on.
The attacker then fired the gas-powered ball-bearing pistol three times, hitting the civil servant in the face, hand and shoulder.
Fearing for his life and bleeding heavily, Mr Egwuatu raced away in his car and found somewhere safe to call for help.
He was taken to hospital and later sent to have a piece of metal removed from his jaw.
Mr Egwuatu, a data analyst with Croydon Council, said: 'The venom in his voice was frightening.
'He was telling me that he was going to kill me. Need I say more?...
