I'm sure someone will deem me racist but it's a crutch that many will hang on to and I just don't think they realize that if they let go of it real progress can be made.

Nope. It's a very basic and effective means of dividing, and falls perfectly in line with conflict theory as outlined by Karl Marx. It is a go-to subject in the world of political propaganda, and it has been used very differently in propaganda many times. The best work on race as it relates to politics is Intellectuals and Race by Thomas Sowell.

Humans are tribal. We stick with our own at great majorities. There's nothing wrong with being black or white and living amongst your people. We all have prejudices of others not in our tribe.
We aren't all equal, we are all different and unique when it comes down to it. We deserve equal rights and protections from our governments. I think once we accept our differences we and learn that everyone doesn't have to like everyone we can move on.
If white people want to start a white only club then so be it, if blacks want to have an all black youth group well good for them and so on and so forth. We get so worked up for everything to be equal an fair and that just flies in the face of human nature.

The only way to end racial divide is to stop dividing according to race. If those who really wanted racial equality would settle for equal treatment of all instead of always requiring some special treatment then in another generation or so the problem would have been minuscule. The present leadership of the "civil rights" crowd, the attorney general, and the president have set race relations back 40 years.

I just don't see this ever ending.
Hell, even in the Zimmerman case I had otherwise intelligent black people tell me that even if Trayvon was beating the shite out of GZ, "you can't just shoot someone who is beating your arse".
It's a fundamental cultural divide. Hell. Let's not lie. There is a healthy number in the black community that views stealing from "rich business owners" to be basically OK.

The only way to eliminate racism is to have a homogenous society. We need to have a lot of interracial relationships over the next several generations so that pigment types indistinguishable.

Society has and will progress on its own without the entire human race having to become grey. Color me an optimist.

It won't go away. People are ignorant and see what they want to see and pay attention to the smaller picture. Police officers don't like taking lives. They do it because they have to in some situations and they most definitely don't boast about it. There is no winner, Justice was served but no one is truly exonerated, as the officer who shot michael brown still will live with that label for the rest of his life and has to deal with the moral guilt that goes with taking a life (regardless if the action was justified).
