There will always be racism but mostly from the fringes. From angry, strange hateful people with no credibility to whom no one pays any attention or gives any respect. It's always been here and always will be. But in the broader, mainstream sense, have we now put race behind us? Have we finally overcome?

I hope so and I'd like to think so.

What do you guys think?

 Could I ask for Star Spangled Canadian to respond to this one question:

 Did you pick up a copy of Deer Hunting With Jesus, or had you already read Joe Bageant?  Does he describe those people you don't think much of?
