A short observation on racism

I don't personally remember the following. I was very young. When our family moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 1972, my father has told me that he remembers in some places one could still find signs over public bathrooms that would read blacks or whites. This was obvious remnants of an era before Civil Rights. This was the South. However, I've been around a few states and have witnessed more racism in Boston than Atlanta at times. One can find several definitions for racism on the internet these days, but I have my own. My definition of it is that if you assume your race is superior to another, you are a racist. Keep in mind, many different races exist.

Racism exists on certain levels; however, discrimination based on race is unlawful in the United States. We have things like the EEOC to enforce violations. Still, racism isn't rampant in the United States. I've seen more racism from the Cuban regime than the United States. Of course, the Cuban people aren't racist by majority. There is a huge difference between government and those governed, in the case of Cuba, for instance. These days, however, leftist media will often argue the opposite, and many are so naive that when they hear something repeated over and over they often accept it as truth.
