I came across this article Link and realized that some people really believe that racism no longer exists. I agree that it has gotten better since our grandparents generation, but it does exist. It is my opinion that a black person who says it does not, is in denial. If it hasn't happened to you, I'm sure it's happened to someone you know. If a white person believes racism does not exist, then their in denial too. They or someone they know has either known someone who has said or done something racist (even if they didn't realize it).
I don't believe that society will ever overcome racism. It has existed since the beginning of time, and will exist to some extent for generations to come. It's our responsibility to teach our children that it's wrong, and try our best not to succumb to our negative thoughts.
