Racism alive and well, are we in the 50's?

i cant decide who's the bigger moron,her or the stripper who saw the duke lacrosse team. neither are good for race relations It's a shame how she ruined those young men's lives. Even if rape charges are dropped there's still a stigma that's attached to someeone. There are always going to be people who think they did it.

There's no justice for that either, even if she went to jail their lives will never be the same.

There are always going to be people who think they did it. in the duke case only a real imbecile would think those kids still did it. we know now that the whole thing was not only a complete and total fabrication on her part but was also being pushed along by misconduct on the part of the prosecutor. that nifong dude (the prosecutor) has been severely disciplined for his conduct, disbarred and sued by the students (for $30 million each) to the point where he had to file for bankruptcy.

racisim will never go away unfortunally, I always thought that when the older generation was gone (40's 50's 60's) from my point of view of course, we might have a change, but old ideas die hard, and unfortunally they are past on to the next generation and so on, as long as we dont stop seeing each other as diffrent nothing will change

The media is also guilty. They were all too willing to run with the story. Particularly feminists.

You think this is racist? Just look at how people are treating Obama. ****, people are so ignorant. Saw an interview on swedish TV where they interviewed republicans about what they thought about Obama and the stuff they said was just atrocious. Pretty much said everything but the word "nigger".

Honestly I think the vast majority of criticism of Obama is coming from people disagreeing with his policy proposals (that's why he's not getting my vote) and not because of his color. Sure there are a very limited few who do go after his race, but it's the same thing with criticisms from the far left towards McCain or Palin. I think Obama's die hard supporters are actually using his race to portray Republicans as racists, even when they don't bring up race. A few small instances of this are 1. Socialism is code for black 2. Community organizer is code for black. God I can't wait for November 5th, no matter who wins.

I was equally shocked to learn that the way McCains campaign twists lies about Obamas ties to Islam, and people actually BELIEVE them and decide not to VOTE for him because of this? That is just crazy. Racism is alive and well, oh yes.

That is just crazy. Racism is alive and well, oh yes. It would be nice to know racism was a thing of the past, but it isn't going away any time soon as its coming from every direction. And actually McCain has publicly denounced the rumors about Obama and Islam, losing several supporters and endorsments in the process. And as I said before, an overwhelming amount of people are voting against him because they don't think he's right to be president due to his political standings, not his race/religion.

And then there's the uninformed idiots who buy into the right-wing propaganda and think he's a terrorist. Don't deny it, they do exist.
