Racism is a growing problem, especially in europe, where neo-nazism is rising again to our grate fear. The thing is - education satrts at home, and until all homes condamn racism, it'll remain to be a big problem of our society. You’re quite right, you know.

I have the luxury of living away from such bigots and I rarely have to confront such racist rhetoric, but I always think about those poor Palestinians trapped in their own country with no choice left but to suffer the humiliations of a racist Israeli; no options whatsoever unless he/she wants to be automatically labelled a terrorist. This disgrace must end. The Obama speech was pretext for many discussions I heard or had my self with colleagues; you know the kind of people with whom you rarely talk politics. Obama incidentally gave me the opportunity to discover what was in those colleagues' minds. I was just devastated and disappointed to the core, and horrified really to discover how much ignorance and bigotry was out there; sometimes pure racism disguised in phrases starting by "I'm not a racist but...", "I don't hate Arabs but..." And I'm talking here about people most of whom post graduates, highly skilled intellectuals. There is a huge counter offensive to be fought and a colossal effort of education to be conducted. Thanks for this heartwarming post. It’s frightening as well as revolting to see how much hatred has been poured into these people’s mind.
