text: it's going to be 2007....why do we still have racism????? we are all human beings, why must we still devide ourselves from each other. i'm white, and some of my best friends are black. enough is enough! i think its too early. if i look at history it was in 1861-1865 when the american civil war occurred and slavery was officialy abolished. but it took almost another 100 years for civil rights movement to take effect 1954 - 1968 when segregation was outlawed.   i don't expect racism to dillute till atleast 2050 if not more.  unfortunately there are still multitude of people who teach their kids voluntarily or involuntarily to nurture racist ideas. but fortunately there are many many people like you, me and others who despise it and will teach their kids differntly. as our number grows we will outnumber them and so it will happen.
