any country that still hosts the KKK cannot consider itself free of racism. however, these people are just a loud minority. it seems that the majority of americans are racist, but this is only because the racists are a particularly loud minority. however, now the ordinary majority of america have been given a voice it has become clear that america isn't nearly as racist as earlier suspected.
However, i would be more concerned about the political divide between rich and poor, it isn't race that really dictates who the president is, it is how much they earn. only millionaires can afford to run, where is the representation of the millions of US workers?
