Racism is a paradigm whereas AIDS is the result of HIV infection. A cure for HIV seems likely, if potentially distant. To remove a paradigm takes time and disarmament. It is also harder to do when you consider the wealth of information available and the interconnectedness of global society that prevents any idea from going quietly

Sure you can cure HIV but when it becomes full blown aids their is no hope no cure kinda like with racism it can start out as something that can be treated until it becomes a fire that just spreads hate engulfing people with ignorance ang bigotry.

But seriously, when people are asked what color the president is, almost everyone will say black.

Trust me, it wasn't by choice. Before I had met my wife, very few women would have given me the time of day.

Yes and no. The what used to be racism is more or less dead in most places in the western world, but there is a trend of using "racism" as a name for non-race related actions and statements. For instance, I believe that Western European based culture and values are better from an objective standpoint than Middle Eastern culture and values. This is often referred to as racism, but it has nothing to do with race, it has to do with values.

Okay, would you prefer the term chauvinism? Racists often justify their racism by saying the denigrated race has inferior character, cultures, values, etc. It is certainly fair to criticize practices in another culture as much as it is in one's own. Carrying about the belief in one's own culture's all-around superiority, though, will offend many people's sensibilities.

I don't like Obama because I think he's made horrible decisions, he just says what people want to hear but does not follow through and I don't see him creating any positive change that he went on about having the ability to create. If he was white, or even purple for that matter I would have the same opinion.
