    Anyone under the impression that racism in America is dead has been blind sided by the mirage of peace and false equality. Racism is hidden in the shadows and corners of every man's heart. We are all guilty of believing any one race is superior. We are all guilty of thinking more highly of ourselves than we should. But perhaps what we are most guilty of is the strong need to be better than the next race because we are not confident and secure enough in our own.
