Are we now proven to be a post-racist society?

[Digging4Truth]

I think today that there isn't near the racism than is touted. There are those who make their living off of this commodity and it is their bread and butter to shine large lights on every possible example of racism they can find.

Is there racism today? Yes...

Are there racists today? Yes...

Is the average American a racist? No...

Racism is amplified at every possible opportunity to keep the fears alive. This causes people feel that the average American (white American especially) is a racist and this causes those who feel that way to harbor hatred for those who they feel are prejudiced against them.

The interesting result of that is that whites become pre-judged (isn't that prejudice) in the eyes of others as being racist.

The perception of widespread racism in American will only "go away" when those cashing their paycheck from the term stop the consistent drumming.

When the attack alarms are constantly being heard the mentality that one is under attack never goes away.

This election goes to show that the line that is being towed by these charlatans is not in keeping with the true state of the mind of the average American.

Hate is their bread and butter and hate does not live unattended. Hate must be maintained.

WOW!
Great post.

You know, even my Dad feels different about America today.

Yes, things have absolutely come a long way. My father was born in 1942 and some of the things that he went through would probably make people's blood boil here on this forum (both white and black).
Some parts of the country lagged behind quite a bit. My wife was born in a very small town in Mississippi and in her lifetime she remembers seprate sitting areas at the doctors office. So most of it is in our rearview mirror...some further back than some would portray and some of it closer than some would portray.

I think though that every generation the country has made significant strides and that as some of the badder influences fade away, things get better.
