You're the one who brought up race in this thread, no one else (until after your post). Race would die if america let it, but too many people are stuck on being racist. Black history should have a curriculum change. The second kids see those videos on black people being hosed down by white firemen etc etc, the first thing they do is go home and ask their racist parent what happened. yes 95% of parents are racist (black and white) because they grew up in that time period and those same ideals are instilled to this day.
The same goes for women. There are tons of sexist men. Womens rights is a short 1-2 chapter read in any textbook. Why should black rights be any different? Why does black history get an entire month? It's because america makes such a big deal out of it, and that's why it doesn't die.
As for Tony saying "black is a skin color, and im proud to be black." Really dude? Is it really necessary to preach to the whole world the color of your skin and how great it is, and how great you are for being black? Realisticly it's thoughts like these that keep EVERYONE being racist, in some way shape or form. If a white person said, im white and im proud of being white, cuz white is great! he'd be looked upon as a racist.
