What needs to happen to prove that racism still exists?

Nothing.\n\nIt's simply a formal issue where governments should officially admit racism existed, still exists and will always exist, instead of claiming their respective nations are racism free. \nAnd..to those who think the problem affects only the US, well you probably haven't been to Europe of late. LOL

racism will always be around as long as social classes are around and social classes have been around since mesopotamia. Im against racism but it wont stop.

quite bad, we are all aware of incidents both national and local which call attention to the continuing racial tensions in our society. To address racism, it seems to me we need to recognize two things: that it exists in a variety of forms, some more subtle and others more obvious; and that there is something we can do about it even if we realize that what we say and the steps we take will not result in an immediate solution to a problem that spans generations. We must, however, confront this issue with the conviction that in some small way we can help to resolve it\n==> visit the sites below to read up more

Racism, for it is never justified.  One might say that being jingoistic could be justified on patriotic grounds, but racism can never be.

Don't think it's gonna happen, at least not in the US in the near future. Most people at heart are still  racists, tough they may deny it. Unfortunate, but many of em wouldn't want the off-spring of slaves to rule over their good ole white country.\n\nst

Since it's a theory as of now, there's no way to prove whether it exists or not.  My opinion - I think there may be things underway that are leading to it sometime in the future.  With the way things are in the world today, it will take something very extraordinary to bring it about.

let it pass the first time.  it could be an isolated incident or a misunderstanding.  but bear in mind that there are racists in every society.

The belief in racism is not illegal as this would violate the constitution. However, many racist acts are illegal.

G'day Gistambition,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nThey would probably end what they considered to be racism but it might not embrace their own attitudes.\n\nAs they don't have such power and are unlikely to get it, it doesn't worry me too much.\n\nRegards

No matter how many Martin Luther King Jr.'s come through therewill always be racism. Be proud of being asian, or black, or white or hispanic. we don't want to have haters in this world but someone will always hate.

The only racism i see is the blacks expecting special privleges over whites.  And that is very common.  When do you think this racism will end?

It has nothing to do with 100 years ago.  It has to do with racism and discrimination that exist today

Ah, the age old question of discrimination.\n\nNow I know that you didn't think that you would be able to post such a question on Yahoo Answers and get a sincerely honest answer, did you?\n\nFor those of you who don't know or walk around with blinders on, racism still exists. A friend of mine and I were recently talking about racism. The irony of this is the fact that he is white, gay, republican and a reformed racist. (At my insistance, well at least that's what he tells me.) He had a very hard time being my friend because he was raised to believe that all black people were, well you know the n-word and all the negative connotations therein. He admitted it, yes he was raised that way by his father. The same man who abused and hurt him taught him to hate people of color. They moved way out into a rural area just to get away from minorities. Sad, but true. \n\nWell anyway, he told me that racism hasn't gone anywhere. (I kind of already knew that.) He said that it has just become no longer politically correct or socially acceptable to behave in a racist fashion in public. He told me that people still use the "N-word" when no one is around, and that the things that "the man" does to keep the black man down have become more sophisticated. This is true. Why is it that African American infants have the highest infant mortality rate in a modernized country? 9.3 infant deaths per 1,000 births. \n\nThe answer to why people discriminate against African Americans and Puerto Ricans is simple. Someone has to be at the bottom, in order for there to be a top. Eventually, money will be the factor that separates us. It will be the rich and the poor. But in the meantime it will be color, because as I have stated time and time again, people of color will never assimilate into the mainstream culture.

Yes, but it isn't going to happen in our life time. Racism is perpetuated by the minority's as much as the bigots. As soon as they learn to let go of the past and stop making everything a race issue things will start to change.\nI will admit that I am prejudice. I am prejudice against lazy, ignorant people who think they are owed something. I don't care what color they are!\nIn my opinion there is only one race. The human race. It is time to stop perpetuating the ignorant old ways of our ancestors and get down to making a better world for everyone. Who's with me?

Unfortunately I believe that racism still exists in this day and age.  I have a good friend who was threatened by a cop that if he took him to the country and shot him in the back, nobody would ever suspect it was he that committed the murder.  (white cop black friend).  He ticketed my friend for something frivolous and told him to get the hell out of town.  No kidding....I am appalled that in America today this still happens.  How very sad.

Follow the money. If it truly disappeared, it would be re-created as an issue, because a lot of important people would have to get real, productive, jobs, like the rest of us.\n\nIn the real world, especially in business, you judge everybody on merit and honesty. You cannot afford to judge anybody by something so stupid and meaningless as skin color.\n\nEverybody should count up all the racist and non-racists they personally know, and report back.\n\nI can't think of anyone I deal with that is a racist. But then, I don't know any celebrities, either.
