Is Racism in America still an issue?

[ORC]

After the zimmerman vs martin case i have been hearing that racism is still a big issue in america today. let me know what you guys think.

 

[Ace]

Racism will always be a problem in America if you didn't already know that

 

[Sector]

I don't know. Ask Paula Deen.

 

[ORC]

ok. i'll get right on that

 

[Color]

This shouldn't even be a question. There will be ignorant assholes who will continue to believe they're better than another based on race until the end of time.

 

[Ariana]

Yes it still is a problem. It always will be.

I think a lot of black people still accuse whites of treating them badly. When actually we don't anymore except for a few people. White innocent people have been shot also and they didn't make a big deal of it at all.

agreed

heres a good question though. what do you think would've been the verdict if trayvon pulled the trigger and george zimmerman was the dead one? My opinion is that because of his race it would've been easier to say he was guilty

this^. as much as i wish this wasn't true it is.

It's still a problem, sadly. But it's just not as big as it was 50 years ago.

Yeah because Zimmerman wouldn't have jumped on him because Zimmerman sufferes from asthma and is overweight. Black males commit murder 10 to 1 compared to white and Hispanic males.

but he profiled trayvon thinking he was already trouble. remember he said "he looks like he's on drugs or somethin"

As a White person, I sometimes think Black people pull the race card just to get a laugh at white guilt.

OT: Genetically, there's virtually zero difference between any "race" of humans to the point where race does not exist on a genetic level. The differences stem from our ancestors having to deal with different problems that we, as a species, have adapted to in different ways.

it was dark and raining outside he didn't know that

Well I'm not saying he should have shot him but wasn't trayvon walking on the street with his hood up at like 4 am in the morning? He defiantly shouldn't have gotten killed but it does seem kinda suspicious.

 

[ORC]

it is suspicious but you following someone like that is also suspicious

 

[Kate.]

Yes, and I believe it always will be.. People have there own mind set on things.

The Zimmerman case had nothing to do with racism, people turned it into a thing about racism, because Trayvon was black. Someone on here posted a link to a similar case in which a black male killed a white male teenager, but it didn't get past local news.

Sorrowfully, racism is still a problem, specifically in the south and the bible belt. Ignorance thrives in places where inquiry is discouraged.

Racism is definitely an issue. It seems as though in our current society, in certain situations it is a crime to be white.

I have no problem with any race by large, however statistics do show that as of now, some races significantly stand out over others in crimes committed and such. There are many factors that influence those statistics, but they are still inexcusable, and they are facts.
