Racism.

hmm, not up on all the controversy, but I will say this:

does society have any hope of overcoming racism? My opinion, assuming we are talking "western" society--yes. Yes, because there's always hope; yes, because we have made progress; and yes, because, well--there's that hope thing again. (I'm only talking western society, because that's the one I live in and am most familiar with.)

I acknowledge that it is a human trait, not exclusive to any one race, to hate and fear the different. Individuals can rise above that, and I believe individual societies can, too, if the right factors, such as prosperity and education, are present.
