I think the majority of racism in this country is completely caused by two groups: ignorant (white) people who were raised to know no better and choose not to open their minds as adults, and minorities who have an unreasonable hatred for whitey. These are both pretty small groups, imo, but as with everything else, our media machine is out of control. They blow things so far out of proportion as to be laughable, but folks swallow it hook, line and sinker.

When I was younger, I always wondered how anyone could possibly hate on the US. After all, weren't we the greatest of the great, the saviors of the world? As I have gotten older, and realized how we portray ourselves to the world at large through our elected officials, complete ignorance of world affairs, and willingness to be led around by the nose by a bunch of corporate assholes who care about as much for us as the average person cares for a cockroach, I start to see their point.

This country is fast becoming a nation of useless sheeple. It makes me sad.
