Exactly right.

A reason why racism still exists in America?

It’s big business for the aggrieved, not to mention a tool for preferential treatment (affirmative action) and lowering education standards (lowered expectations).

If America is racist, why are there so many negroes showing up in TV commercials?

That's an excellent point! It seems that every time I turn on the television, "holder's people" are appearing in some heroic fashion. Whites are depicted as bumbling fools requiring the aid of wise blacks to cope. The Allstate commercials are especially notorious for that depiction. And why is that when a commercial shows a home being burglarized, it always a white guys? That simply doesn't square with the racial reality and the actual color of crime.

Let the race hustlers go play with themselves. I couldn’t care less anymore.

Good point. I vote for Zimbabwe, let them get a taste of their own medicine. Baffin Island was a little harsh; they could not handle the weather for more than a few days. Zimbabwe, they would leave in a month. They could not get their foie gras, lobsters, or their fillet minion as they are used to in NY. My heart bleeds.

My answer is simple - - Because the Race Mongers cannot and will not let go of racism. It’s their bread and butter and their means to acquire power over their fellow man.

Fortunately, the United Nations, and the entire world, is not ignoring racist America any longer and they are watching and speaking out.

Racism is the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race

I don't know about abilities, but characteristics are exactly what defines the race. No "belief" about that. It's like believing that a white color reflects all parts of visible spectrum equally well. Wikipedia offers this definition of race:

Race is a classification system used to categorize humans into large and distinct populations or groups by anatomical, cultural, ethnic, genetic, geographical, historical, linguistic, religious, and/or social affiliation. [...] Starting from the 19th century, the term was often used, in a taxonomic sense, to denote genetically differentiated human populations defined by phenotype.

And then:

A phenotype (from Greek phainein, meaning "to show", and typos, meaning "type") is the composite of an organism's observable characteristics or traits, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, phenology, behavior, and products of behavior (such as a bird's nest). A phenotype results from the expression of an organism's genes as well as the influence of environmental factors and the interactions between the two.

One may be unhappy about this definition, but that's what the word means.

Pretty much.

The UN will sit in conference and spout antisemitic comments while the Jewish delegates sit there and smile.

They have the gall to call us racist? We have a “black” president, who has ruined race relations in this country. How about they talk about that?

The solution to racism, of course, is to kill all the white people.

Then no racism will exist, and all the non-white people of the world will live in eternal harmony.

So the killing in Ferguson was "racially motivated."

Good that there are such smart people on the case that can determine matters like that in just a week's time without even needing to talk to anyone directly involved.

Amazing how of nearly 200 independent countries in the world, the US is the only one with a persistent problem of racism.

I love Korea, but you have no idea how much they hate blacks. It’s amazing. They call them monkeys.

It is not racism, it is diveeeeersity, like in balkanization, like in chaos, like in pressure cooker, like what you can expect to happen when you take a sample from every possible race and culture and mix it, and be surprised that they don’t amalgamate.

I don’t think that there is any other country with the diversity that one finds in the US.

The title sounds like a huge joke, I bet the US is the least racist country on Earth

The UN looking at racism in the US should look at Eric Holder for what a racist is.
