Is racism dead in America?

Did the election of Barack Obama mean the end of racism?

Do you know racism when you see it?

Is racism today the same as it was 20 years ago? 30? 40?

Let's stop being a nation of cowards and meet-up for a conversation on race.

      “I love this topic, and I often find that there are not enough white, latino and asian people to talk to about race. I hope that is possible in this group because a dialogue must happen more often between the races.”

      “I would love to have open and honest discussions about race in today's society.”

      “I haven't had the opportunity to continue to learn and engage in critical dialogues about race since leaving graduate school. It apparently is too heavy a dinner topic in my social circles.”

      “I have always thought all the prejudices tied to race is ridiculous. In fact, if I could go back in time and find the first human that judged another because they were different in any way, I would seriously want to hang them by thier thumbs.”
