Racism is more rampant than you think

Before the Civil Rights movement you had Klansmen openly enjoy carnivals, people calling other folks niggers, wetbacks, and countless other names.
Martin Luther King Jr. wanted to create a colorblind society. We have integrated schools, stores where anyone is allowed to shop, and a half black man running for president since his death. Of course, there are far more things I could list, but I won't.
King failed in his dream. The color blind society is not here yet.
Children are bussed to schools far from their homes in the name of integration. Businesses are forced to hire minorities just because they are minorities. Everyone on the news is ga-ga over Barack being black.
Sure, it's historic, but an obsession with this is inherently racist.
