How is racism alive and well in 2017? It is all about the money? WHAT?

3. "Stronger than before"? Really?

I would say instead it is more brazen. There's no need for hoods and robes when you have the U.S. President as one of your primary spokesmen and defenders.

But while still a serious problem, racism, overall, is (I'm pretty certain) much less prevalent than when I was a kid 60 years ago, when black people (or POC) were prohibited from living in certain neighborhoods, attending certain schools, patronizing certain establishments, drinking from certain fountains, etc. There were (practically) no black movie stars, CEOs, newscasters, congressmen, governors, etc. Elect a black man president in the Fifties? No way!
