Augusta National has one female black member. Racism is dead.

I respectfully disagree. (i'm going to copyright that opening.) I grew up with a racist grandfather in the 70's/80's. My mother wasn't racist, but her view of minorities was at best murky. I lived in mostly white suburban towns and wasn't exposed to any minorities until Jr.High, except for when I visited my family in Chicago. In Chicago gangs ruled the streets and black vs white was all that I saw. However I didn't let my grandfather's racism and my bad experiences in Chicago shape my views of minorities.

Jr.High and highschool I realized how narrow minded my grandfather was and how fear of the other race, led to hatred. Long story short, I chose to not let someone's color effect my decisions and change the way I view them. I broke the racist cycle that my grandfather had continued from his generation. Married a minority and have a beautiful little girl. I have been with my wife for almost ten years and in that ten years I can only remember two times I have experienced any racism. One in a pizza joint in Dekalb, il and the other a supermarket in Alabama. One, by a group of young black men and the other by older white ladies. Offcourse there have been looks by people sometimes and I am sure lots of people have just not said anything, but nothing that I couldn't just brush off as ignorance, like the same ignorance my grandfather possesed. He is dead and his racism died with him. "that's one small leap for man, one giant leap for mankind."

Meh. It's gonna always be this way. Just reading YouTube comments reminds me of that fact. You guys should have seen the comments under the Michigan Avenue flash mob news story a couple of weeks ago. There were a lot of "Those monkeys need to be eradicated" comments. Hard to believe there aren't several more with that opinion. Those thoughts just aren't out in the open anymore.

There is less overt racism.

But I don't think people are all that changed. I have people in my family, people I work with and people who I grew up with that use your standard slurs for every ethnicity. However, this is only done amongst other whiteys. You know, when it's safe to be racist. This is the racism you don't hear about on tv or the internet. It's the racism behind the scenes. They smile and pretend to get along with the non-whites at work or at social settings and then change their spots once they are back in their homes.

I learned a long time ago to never, ever, read Youtube comments.

There really isn't any reason to read comments posted annonymously anywhere.

Plus, he was non threatening mulatto. Call me when President Snipes is in office...

wesley Snipes?

Isn't he in a Florida prison on a felony?

I think he was released over the week end.

Just in time for a 2016 run!

Actually, his conviction ( a felony) on tax evasion charges, makes him ineligible to run for President.
