What I also know is we have a black president, the number one runner up in the GOP race for the next election is a black neurosurgeon, that one of my neighbors is a black executive and I run into black people at all levels in the business world, and that my son says racism doesn't exist in his HS.
Things are not what they used to be, most of us are smart enough to know people can only be judged by their actions.
I imagine there are a few racist cops like there are probably a few racist bartenders, but we've come a long way as a society.
Really? Carson #1, Trump #2?? I thought Trump was #1 by far, especially after the Paris terrorism. Carson's nothing more than a doctor - he should just stick to what he's good at - completely nothing like being a president. It's like an engineer wanting to be a doctor, without going to medical school. Trump, on the other hand, has worked closely with politics all his life (as mega-business dealings usually had lots to do with politics, plus he has the business experience of 10 past presidents combined - exactly what America needs for economy, along with an icon of confidence and leadership).
As to the other "prejudices" like homophobia - there's also Androphobia (fear of men).
