Racism is dead

This article is not going to be of the most politically correct that I've done, but then again, when was I ever politically correct? I'd like to rant about racism in the US.
To get the obvious point aside, Barack Obama, the first (half) black president of the US, will soon be completing his first year in office. Say what you want about him, the previous president has been more destructive then any other in our history.
Now aside from the American people electing a man of color as their leader, I'd like to also point out the spread of Hip Hop and R&B music among the American youth and it's dominance of popular radio.
With all due respect to the black and ethnic population in the US, WHAT IS YOUR FUCKIN PROBLEM?
Yes, the majority of the black population is in poverty. Yes there are still assholes who hold on to racial discrimination. Yes, people are still ridiculed, attacked and even murdered because of ethnicity. But SERIOUSLY, this is NOTHING compared to what it used to be, or how it still is across the ocean!
Just take a look at your relatives still living across the oceans. They are living in conditions that do not compare even to the worst off of the slums in the US. Indeed most families living in poverty in the US have a roof above their head and food on their plate EVERY DAY, not to mention public schools and medicare. This is better off than 55% of the worlds population! And here's a little secret you should know- these people living in deeper poverty than us in America aren't even half as violent as we tend to be towards each other! Don't take my word for it, research this yourself!
I've heard people whining and complaining about how hard it is living in the ghetto, and how terrible people behave their and how nasty the conditions are there. Well here's what you do- you clean it up! You live in a run down home? Fix it! You only have on computer? Use it!
The poorest and most poverty stricken ghettos in the US have more resources then some of the biggest cities in Africa! The potential hiding in the ghettos is exponentially powerful. Look at stories such as Obama's, Opera's and JZ's, these are people who grew up in bad conditions but resolved to pull themselves out and create a better life for themselves and those around them.
RISE UP, BE STRONG, BE POWERFUL, for THOU ART GOD!
You, who are living in poverty, who are waiting on the government or leadership or some organization to help you, don't you think you've waited long enough? Sure, someone might come through to help you up, but why don't you get up and rebuild yourself now instead of waiting around for them to do it?
