    racism is dead, stop it and move on. why do you ppl continue to bring race into everything?I am black.I was never a slave I don’t know any slaves. I’m not nor are my ancestors from Africa. DO NOT call me African American. I am an American and proud of it. LET IT GO. you are just another Edward Bernays and part of the rat maze. STFU already. You are like Jessie Jackson; Always part of the problem NEVER part of the solution.

      Unfortunately, racism is very alive and has been for centuries. It’s like a cancer without a cure. Race is prevalent because we are all immigrants of some kind. WE ARE THE MELTING POT! Please, acknowledge the historical facts and do not ignore your heritage since you are a person of color and so am I. People who are not open minded are a part of the problem which inhibits positive progress in this country.
