Racism in America

[Sean]

So this was a bit disheartening to see.

"Cross burnings. Schoolchildren chanting "Assassinate Obama." Black figures hung from nooses. Racial epithets scrawled on homes and cars.

Incidents around the country referring to President-elect Barack Obama are dampening the postelection glow of racial progress and harmony, highlighting the stubborn racism that remains in America."

The specific examples cited in the article seem to become increasingly alarming the longer you read. Certainly not surprising, but it makes you wonder what we can possibly do to get past this kind of raging ignorance. Hopefully, slow and steady wins the race, but it makes me sad.
