Black, White, Yellow, Red ... Racism still exists?

I hang out with a 2 1/2 year old and a 9 month old all day. I guess I find it hard to believe that evil still exists outside our little bubble. I find it harder to specify that evil into categories like racism, or hate. But really? A kid, just a kid, minding his own business was gunned down because of the color of his skin?

I was taking my wife to work today and thinking about this. I have several multi-colored friends, and I was wondering how they must feel about this. How scary to think you could be killed for just walking down the street. I mean, I know it could happen to me too if I was in the wrong part of the world, but I'm thinking United States here for the moment.

When I got home I saw a friend/client post this on Facebook:

Sad. WTF people? Let's change this aspect of our world. My girls don't see people differently for such a silly concept like skin color. Their generation could grow up not knowing racism. Can we make that happen? At least?
