I see people not being responsible for their own actions and others trying to blame racism on their own mistakes but racism in itself has not "increased" The media sure likes to stoke the fire though and idiots following the talking heads like children eating candy.
I wish this were true Maggot. But I cannot believe it. I thought the 80's and 90's were nice. But as a white person-I cannot really comment on how blacks or any person of color was treated. When I looked back on my highschool days I realized that it was still very racist, it just seemed more okay to make jokes and assume everyone was laughing.
I have seen racisim first hand through my friends eyes. It still exists.
There are improvements-yes. But there is still a long long way to go. I don't ever want to stop making improvements in these areas until each person can have the same experience without the color of their skin being an issue.
