We're all are familiar with the images of burning crosses, fire hoses, police dogs, and night sticks that are the images of an ancient past America where racism not only thrived, but was the law of the land. Today, as my sociology TA would say, that kind of "old fashioned racism" is dead and gone (I hope you hate the term "old fashioned racism" as much as I do). Because we no longer see aggressively overt racism on prime time tv many people are under the impression that racism no longer exists in the country: I mean hey the president is black, that says it all, right? What people don't realize is that racism is alive and well in the country, and just like any living thing racism has had to evolve so it could survive in the changing world.
