Will racism ever be eradicated, in the U.S., in our lifetime?

I got to thinking tonight about the way racism was in the 60's and how, I'm sure, many thought that racism wouldn't even exist now- 50+ years later.
Will racism and prejudice be eradicated in the next 50 years? The next 100 years?
I think there will always be some prejudice on both sides. People not trusting each other being the main culprit.
Not trying to start an argument. Just trying to get some opinions on the matter.

Not as long as it has political sway over a voting block

You need to define what eradication is.
But the answer is no. It's a very core part of human nature.

I just think it's nice you believe it's possible simply by asking the question. Alas, we will always fight the human condition, and we will always fail.

If we get rid of racist people we have a fighting chance.

Not as long as the Sharptons and Jacksons of the world are still around to ensure that it exists.

The truth of the matter that nobody wants to admit is that it's man's natural state to have a preference towards those who are of his own kind. This is true of all races and thd biggest racial problem we face today is that people are too scared to face this truth.

We're doing better than Europe.

It gets better at times but all that progress gets thrown out the window with "Trayvon Martin" incidents

Human nature can't be eradicated. Enjoy how it's a U.S. only thing though.

It will always exist in every corner of the inhabited world.

The race pimps will never want it to be and the dem party and their press lackeys hype it to keep black people on their plantation, got's to be protected from mean whitey by their benevolent white liberal massas.

Almost seems like you're using a miniscule amount of people to use as a large excuse for your own racism

People naturally cling to what they are comfortable with...family, people of similar social status, race, etc...it's just a way we compartmentalize. We defend what's closest to us so there will always be a bias...race included even if it's a minuscule amount

No, because I don't want to live around certain types of people.
