OBAMA BEING PRESIDENT: Racsim a thing of the PAST?

Dancingredfeather, racism, love, hate, prejudice, greed, in fact any human emotion, grows and lives in the indivdual. It cannot be stamped out by any single historical event. Even while President Obama is trying to change America for the good of all people, even while he declares there is no red America or blue or America, there is the United States of America, there is Newt Gingrich singing over the airways that he hopes Obama fails (meaning he hates a black man more than he loves the America he professes he wants to protect from the communists and the terrorists and anyone else who is non-white). Even as President Obama closes Guantanamo Bay there is a policeman in jail in Oakland California being held for shooting a defenseless young black man whom he and a fellow officer held down while taking him into police custody. Fortunately, they commited this heinous act in the presence of a large group of people on the subway who had cameras on their cell phones. It is coming to light that Bill Gates lied about his ability to find qualified Americans for jobs in Microsoft so he could obtain H1 visas for less expensive workers. This is one of the wealthiest men in the world. Greed and deceit go hand in hand with racism. I say this because the people that Mr. Gates hired were taken advantage of also. He hired them at substandard wages. He brought them into the United States as engineers and paid them less than half of what they were worth while he lined his pockets. Just because, in their country, they could live on much less money, he expected them to live on much less in America. This supports your theory of the racism against other races. Racism will never be what it was in the past. The world has gotten smaller and smarter. Racism will never be condoned by the majority. At some point it will always be revealed and stamped out. On the other hand, we will no loner be able to use racism as an excuse for our failure. We have other avenues available to us. That is our progress.
