Will America ever become a post-racial society?

I do feel there will always be racist folks out there and that there is a very small chance that racism will ever fully disappear. But I wonder if there is any chance that our nation can move past prejudice, racism, and racial profiling. What are your thoughts RP family?

It would take a small miracle for this country to be on a nonracist line of thought. It's just an opinion.

The answer is no. Political parties use race as a tool to divide the people. Is affirmative action a racist policy? Are hate crime laws racist? As long as politicians continue to use race as a weapon, we will not see a change. The People are either all equal under the law or as we saw this week with Dr. Ford some have special privileges due to a demographic factor that politicians use to gain an advantage.

No, as long as their are people out there that continue to perpetuate the problem.

Is there a nation that anyone would point to as being post-racial, perhaps as a model for the US to learn from?

I wish I could say yes, but the sad answer is no. There always has been and sadly always be racism. This hasn’t changed since the beginning of society. Can it be minimized in comparison to times past? I believe so, but I also believe the society is more likely to collapse than become a utopia people dream of.
