or can it be just classified as stupidity and ignorance? What is your definition?

The best analogy for racism at this point is that the demand immensely outweighs the supply. By far. But the gasoline to the fire is Twitter that keeps it alive.

Absolutely real. However the dirty secret is it comes from one side A LOT more than the other but the media doesn't play that hand.

Yes. There’s a group in this country that has to go to work every day and doesn’t get food stamps and the cops don’t care when you kill them or steal their stuff

It's obviously overblown, especially in this county but yes it's real, what kind of stupid question is this?
If you define it as racial bias, then it's pretty much everywhere. If you define it as racial superiority, it's still there but not that prevalent.

Check out the Northern metro areas. There might be some racism there.

Yes it is real but not near as common as so many believe. Most of these idiots confuse racism with prejudice. There is a huge difference

What we have in America is largely the avoidance or disdain of cognitively deficient, indolent, violent people with little control of their emotions. It is not racist it is classist.

Not wanting to deal with dysfunction is rational unless it is your paid job.

As a black man, I must say that most claims of "racism" coming from black folks are knee jerk reactions and play into the victimhood mentality. The only time in my life I've been called N is by a drug addict white teenager when I was 9 years old in Lafayette back in the 80's. That shite never made me turnaround and hate white people. At that young age, I knew that kid was just a dumb arse and "racism" on a personal level didn't exist. It was just stupidity and nothing more. On a subconscious level, I don't submit to anyone's level of thinking, and hold myself accountable for my own successes and failures in life.

Yes. A large number of black people HATE white people solely because they're white.

There's too many people making their livlihood off of racism for it to ever go away.

Racism exists, just not at a level that is profitable. Hence the media narrative.

is it real? yes.

is it as widespread and rampant as it's made out to seem? no.

Is there some racism from minorities towards non-minoriteies that goes unreported/praised? Also yes

No, it's bullshite for the most part. Racism has become the excuse for anything that is too hard, or too inconvenient.

People are racist sure but no black people are being denied opportunity because of it anymore, if anything they’re unfairly hired, accepted and promoted when under qualified

As an advocate for casual racism that takes a piss out of every color of people on the planet, of course racism exists. The Racism everyone wants, is pretty much extinct. When you look at the roots of "real" racism, they are grounded in...ignorance. Once ignorance fades out of existence, we get a more accepting and understanding society...and less Racism. But, to the people who make money off of Racism, the snarling, drooling racists of a by-gone era still exist...and in droves. Every loop is a noose, every n-word is derogatory, every slight is a hate crime.

There is a small portion of the country that believes if you are white, you are a racist. They are the minority.

Most people (white, black, latino, asian, etc.) are just trying to get by. Unfortunately that small percentage is the most vocal and, in urban areas, shapes policy toward the cries of those constituents.

It's gotten to the point that in all of those urban areas, you can find pockets that are de facto segregated. Towns 95% white in urban areas that are 70% black. Regardless of these pockets' political affiliations, this will continue to happen. I don't care if you publicly label me a racist. I'll just go with the other people whom you've labeled racist and we will all have a higher quality of life being racists. No sweat off my sack.
