Racism, bigotry...
Those are but symptoms of the social cancer that we have been inflicted with. Byproducts of the actual problem, hate. When hate is so cleverly disguised to appear as love;
(i.e. religion " The human heart is, "deceitful above all things and desperately wicked" Jeremiah 17:9. [this is INGRAINED into the hearts, minds, and even souls of ppl that have so blindly dedicated there entire lives to believing that there OWN heart is "deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked" but yet they become senators, presidents, leaders believing this...]
"Through Christ only can the human heart be cleaned of sin, and not a single Christian is entirely pure until taken home." - anonymous christian
Accepting this as fact, allows people a certain void of responsibility. Unless an outer supernatural force effects us, we are incapable of doing the right thing... What does that say of the people that don't share your belief? Are they also subject to the "infallibility" of that statement? What if they wanted to run your country?
It's easy to love when there's a reward involved... the true test of a person is when you have to love at risk to yourself.
... Though, hate unnoticed, then festers and creates surface issues that never seem to get resolved.

nigger
1786, earlier neger (1568, Scot. and northern England dialect), from Fr. nègre, from Sp. negro (see Negro). From the earliest usage it was "the term that carries with it all the obloquy and contempt and rejection which whites have inflicted on blacks" [cited in Gowers, 1965]. But as black inferiority was at one time a near universal assumption in Eng.-speaking lands, the word in some cases could be used without deliberate insult. More sympathetic writers late 18c. and early 19c. seem to have used black (n.) and, after the American Civil War, colored person. Also applied by Eng. settlers to dark-skinned native peoples in India, Australia, Polynesia. The reclamation of the word as a neutral or positive term in black culture, often with a suggestion of "soul" or "style," is attested first in the Amer. South, later (1968) in the Northern, urban-based Black Power movement. Variant niggah, attested from 1925 (without the -h, from 1969), is found usually in situations where blacks use the word. Nigra (1944), on the other hand, reflects a pronunciation in certain circles of Negro, but meant to suggest nigger, and is thus deemed (according to a 1960 slang dictionary) "even more derog. than 'nigger.' " Slang phrase nigger in the woodpile attested by 1800; "A mode of accounting for the disappearance of fuel; an unsolved mystery" [R.H. Thornton, "American Glossary," 1912]. Nigger heaven, "the top gallery in a (segregated) theater" first attested 1878 in ref. to Troy, N.Y.
What I notice... History defines this word, we can't change the past... the future on the other hand is completely malleable, open, and susceptible to change.

Is racism necessary?
At this point i do believe we are at the brink of great change. Nothing can negate the fact that "hate" is the most prevalent force in this world today, and we've casually left job of bettering the future for the following generations, up to our forefathers. People are satisfied with the "I can't change anything" "things will never change" "I'm only one person" answers... Those are not the solutions.
