Do you think racism will ever go away?

Asked by cutiepi92 (2252points) January 15th, 2013

I keep thinking that maybe society is moving forward…..but then i see s*** like this: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=139678703&page=1

and it just makes me wonder. Why do people still think like this? Why are people so stupid to believe that a certain race is superior to another and not think they are racist? Or worse, claim that “all people of this race smell” or some type of negative stereotype when it’s something different than what they are used to and they don’t know anything about it. Will this ever go away? I am one of those that thinks people in general are stupid but individuals can be quite intelligent. Is it possible for racism to be weeded out of the masses instead of individuals? How long will it take? I’m just so tired of it, especially since (no offense to anyone that is white) many who experience “white privilege” stupidly think that they either aren’t racist when they are or think that racism doesn’t exist anymore.

I apologize in advance for this rant and topic, but I’m taking a class on Science, Technology, and Racism and it’s just frustrated me even more on topics I’ve already been frustrated about. And I’m tired lol
