Racism still exists in the black souls of bigots. It can never be extinguished because bigotry is the refuge of the ignorant and ignorance will never be extinguished. However, and here is the important fact, racism is not longer legally sanctioned in the United States. Laws that are prejudicial for one class of citizens but not others, are no longer tolerated. Racism is not longer legal. And, it is no longer tolerated in society. Those who practice it are banished to the dark fringes of society. They are shunned by law abiding Americans.
