A More Perfect Union: Class 5-5-15

In small group today, we continued to watch "A More Perfect Union" which based off of racism in America and the key point was trying to figure out how it got that way by going back into history. I thought it was interesting when they showed the parts of when Barack Obama became president and many people thought that "racism is over"... but that doesn't change anything. In the documentary they claimed that racism is institutionalize and structural, meaning one large change is not going to change anything. This point got me thinking: is there ever going to be an end to racism or is it going to be a regular thing in our everyday lives? I was also wondering if the same thing could happen with the arguments of gay rights... do you think this can be similar to racism ending?
