Why does racism still exist in modern America?

Everyone is a racist or prejudice (they both are the same) about something, whether its people, places, food, Schools, animals, cars, and thousands of other things, but for this conversation, I assume this question refers to the color of your skin, religious beliefs or non beliefs, sexual preferences, personal habits, how one dresses, cleanliness and if you say you’re not! You are lying to yourself and others. IE: Say your daughter was raised a devout Catholic and she decides to marry a LDS Bishop (Mormon), or a Pagan, would you support her without even a question or comment about her decision? Or say she is a Left Wing Radical Activist, and she decides to marry the local leader of the John Birch Society. Everyone has some form of racism and prejudice.

They are not the same thing. Being a racist is about race..being a bigot can be about anything...you don't like fat people or rich people or uneducated people or people with alternate lifestyles. Being prejudiced covers much more than being a racist. Happy Monday! :)

Timthearchitect i think your answer is right..im not a racist at all but there are things i don't like in people, although not through skin colour...Not everyone is a nice person and some people belief systems are insane to me..
However people are ignorant to say they don't like someone for the colour of their skin..

Do you think that racism in America is a big problem, or is it curable, or does it not exist at all?

In this age of enlightenment why does racism still exist and sadly thrive in certain pockets of community? I'm as white as can be but when I see people I am color blind when I see them because it is retarded to judge people based upon their color.
