<p>Oh please get over this racism crap the only people who are affected by racism are people who are living in the past. Please don’t be so oblivious to the fact that blacks are racist towards whites as well.</p>

Not only is this a ignorant and uneducated belief, it just doesn’t make any logical sense. If someone was physically attacked based on their race, would you then state that it was their fault because they were “living in the past”. Anyone who denies the presence of racism in today’s society has never been harmed or affected by it.</p>
<p>Well it works both ways you see the sender and the recipient are living in the past. If everyone looked forward racism would be put to rest. All I am saying is complaining about racism has gotten out of hand and is what keeps races down.</p>
<p>A bit off topic maybe but, the majority of people are racist. Some of us are just a little racist, it’s a subtle racism where you don’t actually hate a race, but you do show natural racism. For example, if a light skinned guy/girl doesn’t find a dark skinned guy/girl attractive because of their skin color, they are labeled racist. But then this light skinned person has no problem making friends with these same dark skinned people and actually gets along with them very well and considers them a friend. Just that they don’t find them attractive enough to date them, mainly because of their skin color, it’s just not their preference. Is this particular person racist? No, at least not a full blown racist. Maybe racist in the aspect of dating, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they hate the race. That’s why I see that as subtle racism, it’s not harmful, they are not hurting any one.</p>
<p>Edit: By light skinned I mean real light skinned, not brown skinned, I mean closer to white.</p>

<p>That is very true. People might no longer show racism in your face anymore, but they definitely do it anonymously on the internet where they feel safe. Being a member in 7 different forums, dating back from 2006, I can tell you racism definitely does exist. I’m talking about full blown racism that would shock you. The things I have read, are like wow, and it’s 2012. But these same people that you see typing extremely racist stuff on the internet, seem like normal people in person and you would never have thought they felt that way about a race.</p>
<p>From my research schools like University of Alabama, University of Mississippi, Auburn University etc… tend to have considerable more racial incidents than other universities of similar size. They still have all white fraternities and sororities, blacks have their own greek houses. Other races apparently need not apply to the greek system. I noticed there is a lot of self segregation on southern campuses, this is why I am not a fan of these schools. In the real world you will need to be able to work with people from all backgrounds…</p>
You must be joking. I would strongly suggest you research the internet regarding this matter!! Most predominately white universities and colleges have a history as being racist----do your homework.
DEFINITELY. ole miss. and Alabama too, but it’s improving.
