Hell yeah it is. Is it as open as it once was? No, well at least not usually. But the world is like how Radio Raheem said it was. Life is filled with love and hate. Everytime you think love is winning hate punches you in the face. Racism always punches you in the face hard as hell. It hurts and you don't know how to feel and you say the age old satement. "Damn that was racist as fuck!" This summer alone since i been back in Alabama( stand up) I have experienced several moments like that. I have been pulled over several times and harassed by police, followed in stores, and got several odd looks in all white restaurants. Thats a harsh reality from the picture painted in the news that racism doesnt exist. All this has happened in the last month. People think that if racism isnt seen in their life it doesnt exist. That is ridiculous. And what is worst about that is its not always white people who feel that way. I have heard many a statement from black conservatives that is 10x worst than that of white conservatives. Like Uncle Tom I mean Larry Elder. He has a book called Stupid Black Men. Wow. It states that racism is not a problem in society and the main problem in america is laziness of black people. That kids is what we call a sellout yes i said it. Its not the conservative thing because people are gonna have different views but to discredit your own race and deny a problem exist for gain is wrong. I hate that. My grandparents marched in Mississippi and with Dr. King to change America. So when my grandfather sees the racism still alive means something to me. Now like I stated earlier racism isnt as widely shown as it once was but it does exist. I recently visited the Dr. King memorial in Montgomery. It touched me he, Malcolm X, Medgar Evers, and many others died to change the world. Remember that.... also rest in peace Radio Raheem
