Is Racism Increasing?

Do you think racism is more prevalent now than in the 80's or 90's? Are racist groups like the KKK and Aryan Nation increasing in size or decreasing? Interracial marriages have become much more common and there are more multiracial children than ever before.

And business? Are businesses doing a better job hiring minorities? Is "redlining" of neighborhoods more or less common?

Rhetorical question? We can thank the worthless news media and the two morons running the country.

It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

Maybe you need to step away from iinflammatory news stories and check out actual suburban neighborhoods. Neighborhoods are much more ethnically diverse than they were twenty years ago. Many more mixed race kids than before. Much less redlining, minorities have better jobs and opportunities. My nephew is mixed race and earns 120K at a car dealership. Lives in a diverse neighborhood and is a Republican.

Maybe you should ask him if he thinks racism is increasing? Let us know what he says.

Ask "any person" HA? How many people have you asked?

This is how our worthless press operates. They take the worst stories and amplify them to the point where it looks like everyone in a certain group is being oppressed , assaulted, profiled, or just treated like they are less than human. There's more than 340 million people in this country and I don't think you or anyone else can make statements like that and back them up with facts. Please provide your sources that have more than just anecdotal instances.
