You know what’s really sad? It’s that these are real people making extremely ignorant comments. The presidential race has definitely has brought out some American’s views and feeling on the issue of race.

What is happening now is that it’s no longer something people talk about in their homes and behind closed doors. People are more free to discuss it out in the open, in the work place, and at rallies because we now have an African American man running for President.

The fear and hatred Americans believed was buried away with the civil rights movement has resurfaced and now we begin to see that some Americans really haven’t changed their views about African Americans, Muslims and more. There is so much more to be done in terms of race relations in our OWN backyard as pointed out so clearly in this clip. Racism is strong and alive as ever. How unfortunate.
