Right. The most recent example of racism was Jesse Jackson using the *n*-word. As Al Sharpton said "This is not the Jesse Jackson I have come to know and love". Say, that has a familiar ring, doesn't it?

[jesse BOY jackson]

[NObama]

Nope, its not that people wont vote for him because they disagree with his socialist and gun grabbing ideals. Oh noooooooooooo! It must be because those people are racist...

BTW, Blacks are the most racist people there are. Even Chris Rock admitted it.

Interesting that even Gov. Paterson realizes that there still plenty of racism in this country while most deny it! AND HE'S BLIND!!!!!

First off, Chris Rock can be very billigerant. Secondly he's not the spokesperson for black people. Third of all Jesse J. is just jealous that he never got as far as Obama has in his political career. It's so obvious. We're all guilty of racism which is sad. Our earth is waisting away, but yet we're too busy going at each other's necks to try and do something about it. You know... I think I may start picking up garbage off the streets. It's time I put my part in.

Wrong answer:

Institutional racism is a form of racism which is structured into political and social institutions. It occurs when institutions, including corporations, governments and universities, discriminate either deliberately or indirectly, against certain groups of people to limit their rights. Race-based discrimination in housing, education, employment and health for example are forms of institutional racism. It reflects the cultural assumptions of the dominant group, so that the practices of that group are seen as the norm to which other cultural practices should conform (Anderson and Taylor, 2006). Institutional racism is more subtle, less visible, and less identifiable than individual acts of racism, but no less destructive to human life and human dignity. The people who manage our institutions may not be racists as individuals, but they may well discriminate as part of simply carrying out their job, often without being aware that their role in an institution is contributing to a discriminatory outcome. This not only threatens the efforts to improve health care for all Americans, but it also creates problems for a society that continues to struggle with a legacy of racial discrimination and oppression (Copeland, 2005). Although institutional racism may not necessarily be caused by intentional racism, it does however have very serious consequences for people of color in the United States especially in the health care system.
