Will racism ever end?

I want you to ask yourself these questions, and I want you to answer it honestly. You are answering to yourself, no one else needs to know the answer. Are you racist? Do you feel superior to another race or hatred or have intolerance towards another race?
Really think about that. I will answer the question for you in a moment. Yes, I am throwing myself out there, but I feel we all need to look within to realize how difficult abolishing racism from the world would actually be. Can it be done?
My first reaction is, no of course I am not racist! I don't target blacks, hispanics, or other ethnicity's. I don't have hate or intolerance towards others, at all, but at times, I have to admit, much farther and fewer now than in my youth, I did and have felt superior. But I would not say it was feeling superior over an entire race, I would say it was feeling superior over a class of people that had less money than I, lets call it social ranking. So at times, in certain situations, I have exuded racism. I have felt painfully embarrassed after walking away from a situation realizing my feelings and I now no longer tolerate that behavior within myself for one second.
Now, we might think that this type of racism, feeling superior over lower class people on the totem pole, is not serious racism, but that is just our mind playing tricks on us. We want to feel justified for our actions that are intolerable. For I know, and you know, no one is superior to other beings on this earth based on race, religious beliefs, or social classes. We were all made equal, by one God, who loves us all equally, just as we love our own children equally. We might all have a different name for our God, but in the end we are all equal.
Racism is rampant more than ever. Our electing President Obama is a step in the right direction, but reality is, it has probably incensed the white supremacy movement to a point that they might even be more intolerable than ever towards African Americans.
Racism is obviously not a new concept. It has been around forever. Nothing has changed, it has not gotten better, what has happened is African Americans, Jews, Hispanics, and other races that have been targeted have climbed the social ladder and in turn we have been tricked into believing we are less racist. That simply is not true.
Blacks are still targeted by cops, whites are still angry at blacks, blacks still don't trust white people completely, can you blame them, whites are still getting sick of what we call reverse racism, mexicans want a better life, and the government cannot control immigration, so people target mexicans, gangs based on race are still popping up all over, and finally, God forbid if you are a muslim boarding an airplane. Did you see the movie Rendition? It is not easy being Middle Eastern in America right now.
Please don't kid yourself that we are coming together as one and stop the fight against racism. Hate and intolerance of others will only stop with future generations. I believe whole heartedly that if you are racist by the time you are an adult, your belief system is imbedded so deep into your psyche that it is almost impossible to change. We have to start with the young and impressionable, just the same as the groups that recruit people into the KKK or any other organization that has hate written all over it do.
My proposal is to incorporate racism classes into our schools starting in Elementary School. Children need to realize what racism has done to our country and the entire world. If we just teach them about 9/11, but don't try to explain what real muslim people are like, that they love their God and their children just like their parents do, our children will create a hate and intolerance for middle easterners. They need to know Bin Laden was an extremist. They need to see the other side of the muslim religion.
They need to realize how African Americans feel. Our children need to realize the ramifications of racism, and they need to want to be the generation to really rid our country of intolerance and hate. Our children need to realize what social classes are. That every night we all go to bed and kiss our parents, say our prayers, and wake up the next morning to a new day and a new chance to live a great life that is promised to every one of us walking this earth. That means Johnny who is going to bed in the projects of Chicago in a one room apartment have the same rights as Johnny who is going to bed in one of the wealthiest communities in the suburbs in his bedroom that is as big as Johnny from the projects whole apartment.
Children need to be taught that we are all equal. They need to know that at no time are they better, stronger, smarter, or more priviledged than the next person. When we die, the only thing we take with us is all the lessons we learned. I want my children's lessons to be of tolerance, forgiveness, love, empathy, compassion, and a desire to have been good to the people all around them whether white, black, mexican, muslim, jewish or catholic. I hope you all do the same.
