No schitt sherlock. It would be great if the video was played in majority black high schools around the country.

Wish people would live in Mexico for one week to see what racism looks like. America, even in the deep south, is one of the least racist places I've set foot in.

No if you want to see a place that's truly racist go to South Africa.

Enjoy a rare but deserved upvote from me good sir.
We don't have shite on Europe, a lot (but not all of) Latin America, and Asia on racism

North America or South America? Either way, how can continents prefer one race over another?

Well that guy just alienated himself from most of his family.

I think humans have a natural predisposition to tribalism. That often manifests itself into racism and prejudice, especially when one tribe or race holds a majority of the positions of power. I don't think there is any question that America's history is stained with ugly racism, and I think those stains are very hard to just wash away. I also think some of those stains have had very lasting effects on today's racial climate. The red lining in the housing industry in the 30's and 40's and Jim Crow laws in the South being the most obvious examples.
Though there are many examples of blatant racism today, I wouldn't call this country a racist country.

You hit the nail on the head. Evidence supporting an evolutionary "us vs. them" trait in humans keeps getting pushed further back in our lineage.
War is the extreme expression of this characteristic today but almost every conflict involving groups of humans centers on a they're-not-like-us thinking. Survival of the fittest, or the most racist (using that term very loosely) in this context, has created a species that is dominating the earth even though opposing groups try to eliminate each other.

The only people who think racism is an issue in America are those how have an interest in keeping it an issue.

My mother in law was at the king center last friday(she is a teacher), it was also his birthday, so they were celebrating. One of MLK's friends was there and decided to speak to the children(2nd graders), He proceeded to tell them at length that we are in the most racist time ever in america and this country is the most racist country in the world.
I'd say I have to agree with him

I have no interest in keeping it an issue but think there is an issue with in this country. It's not as bad as it has been in the past, but it is there. I think you have to be incredibly sheltered, or just willfully ignorant, to deny racism is an issue in this country. Or maybe you just a guilty conscience.

So? Do you support the idea of cracking down on thought crime?
