I know that there are still racists in this country. The issue seems to be, that since neither major political party will do anything to advance their cause, they will flock to this new one. They can get some subtle things into their small agenda and random policies, even though they will predominately hurt people of a darker skin color or lower economic status. For example, the whole immigration debate is where each group has a different belief (Dems = make Latinos happy, GOP = cheap labor, Tea party = secure borders, show your papers, use military, or allow ranchers their right to protect themselves by shooting trespassers).
MSD's post was pretty good with the huge list of things still happening in this country.
